Transportation Operations Technician II - Temporary
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. 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 number; we can drop that or put in a short p maybe but it's minor metadata. Probably drop it.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, navigation, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions like contact email, apply online, resumes not accepted via email. Also remove "If you would like more information about this position, please contact Mark Tice at mark.tice@vermont.gov." That's application instruction; remove. Also "Resumes will not be accepted via e-mail. You must apply online to be considered." Remove.
Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer" block.
Also remove "CDL Application Requirements" maybe not boilerplate but it's substantive; we need to keep that info. It's about providing work history for past 10 years. That's substantive; keep.
We must also remove duplicated lines. Check for duplicates: "Considerable overtime work is required, particularly during the winter months, and is considered a condition of employment." appears in Environmental Factors and also maybe elsewhere? It appears only there. Also "Overtime may be required." appears in Overview. That's similar but not duplicate; we can keep both.

About the role
The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) is hiring seasonal Transportation Operations Technicians to support highway maintenance and winter operations in Bennington. This hands-on role involves a variety of tasks that keep Vermont's roads safe and reliable, including repairing guardrails, patching pavement, ditching, clearing brush, and picking up litter. Seasonal staff also play a critical role in plowing and salting during winter weather events. Overtime may be required.
Responsibilities
- Repairing guardrails
- Patching pavement
- Ditching
- Clearing brush
- Picking up litter
- Plowing and salting during winter weather events
Overtime may be required.
But note we already mentioned overtime may be required in About the role; we could keep it there. However we can also include in Responsibilities. Might be duplicate. Better to keep overtime mention only once. Let's keep in About the role and not repeat. Responsibilities list just tasks.
Requirements
Duties require the ability to withstand exposure to extreme outdoor weather. An incumbent must be available for considerable overtime during heavy snowfall or other emergencies. Employees may be required to report to work outside of their work schedule/area and must be reachable by phone. An employee must be able to use tools and lift materials commonly used in maintenance work. Normal dangers associated with work on or near heavy equipment, hazardous materials, and debris from roadside litter are present. May be exposed to blood or airborne pathogens. Hazards are always present when working on roads with moving traffic. Participation in a random drug and alcohol-testing program is required. Considerable overtime work is required, particularly during the winter months, and is considered a condition of employment.
That seems to capture Environmental Factors.
Qualifications
- One (1) year of work experience in construction, equipment operation, or related manual labor, including either:
- one season of operating a snowplow with wings
- or six (6) months of operating medium or heavy equipment, such as graders, excavators, and backhoes
- OR Upon successful completion of original probation as a Transportation Operations Technician I AND possession of a Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with tanker endorsement.
Special Requirements:
- A Class B Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is required.
- An incumbent must live within reasonable proximity of assigned workstation.
- Possession of a Class A Commercial Driver's License with Tanker Endorsement is required within the first six months of employment.
- An incumbent must complete all VTTC required coursework within one (1) year or be enrolled.
CDL Application Requirements:
- Applicants must provide detailed employment information for the past 10 years, including:
- A list of the names and addresses of previous employers for which you were an operator of a commercial motor vehicle
- The dates you were employed by these employers
- The reason for leaving employment
- By submitting the online job application, you certify all information furnished is true and complete.
- The information provided may be used, and previous employers may be contacted for the purpose of investigating and verifying your work history.
But we need to ensure we don't create empty sections. All good.
Schedule
This is a temporary position with variable hours; the State does not guarantee 40 hours of work per week. Overtime may be required, and considerable overtime work is required particularly during the winter months.
We should avoid repeating "considerable overtime work is required..." which we already have in Requirements; but it's okay to mention again in schedule as it's schedule-specific. However we might be duplicating content. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not to invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is allowed if it's in original? The original had "Considerable overtime work is required, particularly during the winter months, and is considered a condition of employment." in Environmental Factors. Also "Overtime may be required." in Overview. So we have
