Transportation Generalist - St. James

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. Key info: - Working Title: Transportation Generalist - St. James - Agency: Transportation Dept - Location: St. James - Telework Eligible: No - Full/Part Time: Full-Time - Regular/Temporary: Unlimited - Who May Apply: Open to all qualified job seekers - Date Posted: 09/16/2026 - Closing Date: 09/22/2026 - Hiring Agency/Seniority Unit: Transportation Dept / Transportation-District 7-AFSCME - Division/Unit: St James Subarea - Work Shift/Work Hours: Winter Hours: 7:30-4:00pm Monday-Friday; Summer Hours: 7:00am-4:30pm Monday-Thursday, 7:00am-11:00am Friday - Days of Work: Monday - Friday - Travel Required: No - Salary Range: $25.19 - $31.60 / hourly; $52,596 - $65,980 / annually - Classified Status: Classified - Bargaining Unit/Union: 202 - Craft, Maintenance, Labor/AFSCME - Work Area: St. James Truck Station - FLSA Status: Nonexempt - Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: Yes Then description: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." then bullet-like paragraphs describing duties. Then Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Requirements, Additional Requirements, How To Apply, Contact, Benefits section. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to keep substantive info: duties, qualifications, requirements, benefits, pay, schedule. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include. We have: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about work you'll do and mission. Could be "About the role". We'll include. - Responsibilities: the detailed duties list (Road and Surface/Roadside Maintenance, Snow & Ice, etc). We'll include. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications + Additional Requirements (background checks, CDL, drug test). Could be "Requirements". We'll include. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications maybe separate? Could combine with Requirements? But we have both Minimum and Preferred. Could have "Qualifications" section covering both minimum and preferred. Or separate "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" but only allowed headings from list. We could put both under Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could infer from duties but better not to invent. If no explicit skills, we should not create Skills section. - Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph with list. So include Benefits. - Pay: Salary Range given. Include Pay. - Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours given. Include Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc as headings. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. We need to format lists with

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove "How To Apply", "Contact", maybe those are application instructions; we should remove them. Also remove "Working together to improve the state we love..." etc maybe considered boilerplate? It's more motivational but could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The motivational paragraph is not exactly those; but could be considered part of About the role. We'll keep it as part of About the role. We need to keep Connect 700 Program designation? That's metadata; maybe we can include in About the role or maybe drop as minor metadata. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like Location, Telework, Full/Part Time, etc. But we might incorporate into About the role or a separate meta paragraph. However we need to avoid duplication. Better approach: create sections:

  About the role

  Transportation Generalist - St. James, full-time position with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) in St. James Truck Station. The role involves maintaining roadways, performing snow and ice control, operating equipment, and ensuring safety. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, offering benefits and development opportunities.

  But we must preserve all substantive information; we cannot omit details like Work Shift, Salary, etc. Those will go into respective sections. We need to include all substantive info from the posting: duties (Road and Surface/Roadside Maintenance, Snow & Ice), Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Requirements, Additional Requirements (background checks, CDL, drug test, clearinghouse), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We also need to keep info about Designated in Connect 700 Program for Applicants with Disabilities: Yes. That's a substantive detail about accommodation; could be included in About the role or Requirements? Probably under Requirements or maybe as a note. We'll include in About the role or maybe a separate note but we don't have a heading for that. Could fold into About the role as a sentence. We must not invent details. Now, let's extract each piece. **About the role**: The introductory paragraph: "The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities." Also mention Connect 700 Program designation? Could add: "This position is designated in the Connect 700 Program for applicants with disabilities." That's from the metadata. Thus About the role paragraph can combine those. **Responsibilities**: The duties list broken into Road and Surface/Roadside Maintenance and Snow & Ice. We'll create a
  with each bullet as a
  • . Need to preserve all details.

We need to keep all these details. **Requirements**: Minimum Qualifications + Additional Requirements (background checks, CDL, drug test, clearinghouse). Also maybe Physical Requirements?
