Candidates cannot be appointed until all degree requirements are complete." - Minimum Qualifications - Substitutions Allowed: list of substitutions. - Preferred Qualifications: "Possession of a Civil Engineering or Construction Management degree. Possession of an engineering degree in a position-rel" (cut off). Probably incomplete but we have that. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe THE ROLE), Responsibilities (EXAMPLES OF DUTIES), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (KNOWLEDGE, SKILL AND ABILITY), Benefits (What We Can Offer You), Pay (SALARY/PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITY), Schedule (POSITION HIGHLIGHTS includes schedule Monday-Friday 40hrs first shift). Also location maybe part of schedule? Could be separate but not required. We must not include placeholder text. All content we include must be substantive. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. We must not include boilerplate like "Visit our State Employee Benefits Overview page!" maybe that's okay as it's part of benefits. But "Visit our State Employee Benefits Overview page!" is a link suggestion; we can keep as part of benefits. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no or . Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide what to list as lists. Benefits: "Professional growth and development opportunities", "A healthy work/life balance to all employees", "Join an award winning agency! CTDOT has been recently awarded the Employer of the Year award by the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers (CSCE) and named the Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS) CT Employer of the Year for 2024!" Also maybe "Visit our State Employee Benefits Overview page!" but that's more a reference. We could make a

      for benefits. Schedule: Monday - Friday. Full Time, 40 hours per week. First shift. Location: Positions available in New Haven, Newington, Norwich, Rocky Hill, and Thomaston. Telework eligibility after working test period per Telework Policy. Bargaining unit P-4. We could put schedule as prose

      . Pay: Provide salary numbers. We need to preserve all substantive info; we must not omit details like location list, telework eligibility, bargaining unit, etc. We must not invent. We need to include the "About Us" maybe as a section? Could be "About the agency". Not in prescribed headings but we could use "About Us" as heading? The instruction says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not limited to those? It says use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings only. But we could also include other headings if needed? It says "use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples; we could use others but better to stick to those. However we have content like "About Us" and "Purpose of Job Class". Could we fold those into "About the role" or "Requirements"? Probably we can include them under "About the role" or maybe not needed. But we must preserve all substantive information; we could include them in a

      under "About the role" or maybe a separate section like "About the agency" but not in list. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine some. We need to include all substantive info: introduction, what we can offer, position highlights, the role, salary/promotional opportunity, about us, purpose of job class, examples of duties, knowledge skill ability, minimum qualifications, substitutions, preferred qualifications. We could structure as:

      About the role

      ... (introduction + role description + purpose of job class + examples of duties)

      Responsibilities

      • ... (maybe from examples of duties)

      Requirements

      • ... (minimum qualifications general experience)

      Qualifications

      • ... (preferred qualifications)

      Skills

      • ... (knowledge, skill and ability)

      Benefits

      • ... (what we can offer)

      Pay

      ... (salary/promotional opportunity)

      Schedule

      ... (position highlights schedule, location, telework, bargaining unit)

      We must ensure not to include placeholder text. All content must be from posting. Let's extract exact phrasing.
