Transportation Maint Tech I or II

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide what is a list vs prose. The duties are many sentences; we can make each duty a

• . Similarly for qualifications, benefits, etc. Let's extract content. First, duties for TMT I (essential duties) list: - Assists in identifying, repairing and installing signs, delineators, mailbox supports and posts; performs basic welding as needed; as required uses/moves equipment/tools, materials and products related to these activities. - Assists in providing support to local law enforcement officials at accident sites; assists stranded motorists as required. - Assists with traffic control; places and gathers cones, warning signs and barricades; flags traffic. - Determines placement of traffic control devices and installs/moves devices. - Inspects barricades to ensure compliance with barricade standards. - Maintains highways and rights-of-way; performs roadway repairs; erects and repairs guard rails, highway markers and signs; hauls materials and equipment to job sites. - Maintains picnic and rest areas, rights-of-way, maintenance yards and comfort stations. - Move/picks up litter and roadway debris. - Mows rights-of-way and picnic and rest areas; performs plant and landscape maintenance including trimming trees and brush. - Operates light equipment such as a front-end loader-one and a quarter cubic yard or less, pneumatic roller, rotary broom, spreader box, backhoe, street sweeper, and mower. - Performs preventive maintenance inspections (PMI), routine servicing and minor repairs on equipment and completes various required reports including timekeeping, equipment forms, inventory, accident forms, and PMI. - Sands or cleans bridges and roads, posts warning signs, helps the public and performs other work as directed during emergency situations such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms, accidents, and hazardous material spills. - Assists with inspecting maintenance contract construction methods and workmanship to ensure contractors build and maintain roadways, bridges, traffic signals and related highway structures in accordance with plans and specifications. - Performs other job responsibilities as assigned.

We need to combine duties but avoid duplication. Some duties appear in both: "Maintains highways and rights-of-way; performs ...; hauls materials and equipment to job sites." appears in both I and II (I: "Maintains highways and rights-of-way; performs roadway repairs; erects and repairs guard rails, highway markers and signs; hauls materials and equipment to job sites." II: "Maintains highways and rights-of-way; performs skilled roadway repairs; erects and repairs guard rails, highway markers and signs; hauls materials and equipment to job sites." Slight difference: "roadway repairs" vs "skilled roadway repairs". We'll keep both as separate items maybe. Also "Identifies, repairs, and installs signs, delineators, mailbox supports and posts; performs welding; and uses/moves equipment/tools, materials and products." appears in I (assists in identifying, repairing and installing signs... performs basic welding as needed; as required uses/moves equipment/tools, materials and products) and II (identifies, repairs, and installs signs... performs welding; and uses/moves equipment/tools, materials and products). Slight difference: basic welding vs welding. We'll keep both. We'll deduplicate exact duplicates; near duplicates we keep both as they have nuance. Now Minimum Qualifications: - Education: No education required. - Experience for Transportation Maintenance Tech (TMT): TMT I = No experience required; TMT II = 1 year experience* - Experience must be in transportation engineering support, roadway maintenance, construction inspection, heavy equipment operation, or related work experience. (Experience can be satisfied by full time or prorated part time equivalent). - Related technical training or education from an accredited institution may be substituted for experience on a year per year basis. - Substitutions for Minimum Qualifications . (looks like incomplete line; maybe ignore) - Licenses and Certifications: Valid driver’s license at the time of application. This position requires driving a state vehicle.

The line "Substitutions for Minimum Qualifications ." seems incomplete; maybe we keep as is? It's not substantive. Might be boilerplate; but it's part of qualifications. Might keep but it's vague. We'll keep it as a sentence.
