(boilerplate to remove) We need to remove EEO boilerplate, navigation, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "For more information about the work we do, please watch this brief video." maybe considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction but maybe considered promotional; but we can keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. That line is not an instruction to apply, but it's a suggestion to watch video. Might be considered fluff; but we can keep if it's substantive? It's not essential. Safer to remove it as it's not required info. Also "Apply to join our dedicated, hard-working team today!" is application instruction; remove. Also "Please contact the hiring manager listed below for the full details of this program." maybe keep? It's contact info; but we might keep contact info as part of overview? The instruction says remove application instructions; contact info maybe not instruction but could be considered. However we have a contact later: Jordan Quilliam email. That's contact info; we can keep as a p. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's decide sections: - About the role (overview): we have overview description. Could be "About the role". Use h3. - Responsibilities: list of duties: repairing guardrails, cutting trees/brush, patching roads, picking litter, ditching, plowing and salting (winter), etc. Also mention skilled tasks, supervision, training, use of tools, equipment, technology, regulations, on-the-job training. Could be responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Special Requirements, Environmental Factors? Might be separate sections: Requirements (minimum/preferred), Qualifications (maybe same as requirements). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Special Requirements into a "Requirements" section with ul. - Qualifications: maybe we can have "Qualifications" for preferred? But we already have Requirements. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose a few. We have Benefits described in Total Compensation section. So we can have Benefits heading. Pay: The posting mentions "Although the full salary range for this position is provided, new hires are typically made at the salary range minimum." No actual numbers given. So we cannot create Pay section because no specific pay info. So omit Pay. Schedule: Not specified; mention overtime may be required, considerable overtime work required particularly winter months, considered condition of employment. Could be schedule info? Might be considered schedule but not specific hours. Could we create Schedule section with bullet about overtime? The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state overtime may be required, considerable overtime work required, considered condition of employment. That's schedule-related. So we could include Schedule section with bullet about overtime. But we also have Environmental Factors which could be part of Requirements or separate. Might be better to include as part of Requirements. Skills: Could list skills: use of hand, power tools, heavy equipment, technology (iPads, computers), state/federal regulations, lifting, etc. Could be Skills section. We need to avoid duplication. Let's structure:

About the role

Responsibilities

• ... list duties ...

Requirements

• Minimum qualifications: no education or experience required; must be at least 18 years old.
• Preferred qualifications: high school diploma or equivalent.
• Special requirements: valid driver's license; must live within reasonable proximity of assigned workstation; possession of a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) required for successful completion of original probation; must complete all VTTC required coursework within six months or be enrolled; able to lift 50 lbs individually, with assistance for 51-100 lbs.
• Environmental factors: work in extreme outdoor weather conditions; may be required to report outside normal area/schedule and be reachable by phone; exposure to heavy equipment, hazardous materials, roadside litter, blood/airborne pathogens; traffic, flood, ice, snow hazards; participation in random drug and alcohol testing required prior to operating vehicles/equipment; considerable overtime required, especially in winter months, as a condition of employment.

Alternatively separate Skills. But we also have Skills: use of hand, power tools, heavy equipment, technology (iPads, computers), state/federal regulations, on-the-job training. We could add Skills section. Benefits: from Total Compensation. Let's extract benefits list: - 80% State paid medical premium and a dental plan at no cost for employees and their families - Work/Life balance: 12 paid holidays each year and a generous leave plan - State Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI) - Two ways to save for retirement: State defined benefit pension plan and deferred compensation 457(b) plan - Tuition Reimbursement - Flexible spending healthcare and childcare reimbursement accounts - Low cost group life insurance - Incentive-based Wellness Program - Qualified Employer for Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program We can put as ul. Schedule: Overtime may be required; considerable overtime work required particularly during winter months; considered condition of employment. We can put as ul. Now need to ensure we don't repeat info. Overlap between Requirements environmental factors and Schedule overtime. Could keep both but maybe combine. However we can keep Schedule separate focusing on overtime. Let's craft. We must not include job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into short p or drop it. The "Who May Apply" includes job requisition numbers; we can drop that or fold into a short p. Since it's minor metadata, we can drop it entirely. Also contact info: Jordan Quilliam email; we can keep as p maybe under About the role or separate? Could be a p. We must not include application instructions like "Resumes will not be accepted via e-mail. You must apply online to be considered." Remove. Also remove "Please Note: This position is being recruited at multiple levels..." etc. That's application instruction; remove. Also remove "Although the full salary range for this position is provided, new hires are typically made at the salary range minimum." That's pay info but no numbers; we decided not to include Pay section. Could we include a short p under About the role mentioning that salary range is provided but new hires typically at minimum? Might be considered pay info but not specific; maybe we can keep as a note. The instruction says do not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state that full salary range is provided (though not given). That's still stating that salary range exists. But we don't have actual numbers; still it's stating that salary range is provided. Could we include a short p about salary? Might be okay but risk of being considered Pay section? Safer to omit. We need to preserve all substantive information. The statement about salary range being provided is substantive? It's vague. Might be considered minor metadata; we can drop. Now produce HTML. Let's draft:
