Transportation Specialist III or IV
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which headings to use. We have content: description of role (first paragraph) could be About the role. Then Essential Duties (list of duties) -> Responsibilities. Then Minimum Qualifications -> Requirements or Qualifications. Then Preferred Qualifications -> Skills maybe. Then Benefits And Perks -> Benefits. Then Job Engineering/Engr Support Schedule Full-time Employee Status Regular -> Schedule.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Conditions of Employment link etc. Also remove Position Information? Might keep location? The posting includes "Position Information TxDOT's Wichita Falls District is looking for a Transportation Specialist III or IV in our Design Department." That's substantive. Could be part of About the role.
We need to avoid duplicating lines like "Reviews and oversees plan packages submitted by consultants." appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
First paragraph: "Provides technical expertise and coordination for transportation programs involving multiple design and/or advanced building construction projects, construction of transportation systems, traffic operations, maintenance of highways and facilities, or bridge inspection and appraisal in accordance with Department standards. Assists with project planning and oversight, and the development of policies and procedures for area of responsibility. Work requires contact with governmental officials, consultants, contractors and private entities. Employees at this level establish their own work plan and priorities to meet set objectives. Issues are rarely referred to the supervisor but are handled at the occurrence."
That's About the role.
Then "Essential Duties:" then list for Transportation Specialist III and IV. We need to combine duties? Probably list responsibilities for both levels. We'll create a Responsibilities section with bullet points covering duties.
We need to deduplicate repeated lines.
Let's list duties from III:
- Assists in overseeing design work among TxDOT entities, consultants and contractors.
- Assists in overseeing project design involving design calculations and sketches of plans, layouts and typical sections.
- Evaluates and analyzes complex design issues.
- Coordinates compilation of complete plan packages for submission to the responsible engineer or architect for review and signature.
- Coordinates with roadway design on schematics and reviews in-house and consultant traffic control plans or traffic projects.
- Develops and prepares consultant work orders and agreements.
- Develops site layouts utilizing engineering workstations and software.
- Oversees permit operations.
- Performs data collection, evaluations, analyses, studies, inspections, forecasts, assessments, and/or plan development.
- Researches and analyzes incoming correspondence, reports and other written material.
- Reviews and oversees plan packages submitted by consultants. (duplicate later)
- (duplicate) Reviews and oversees plan packages submitted by consultants. (we keep one)
IV duties (some overlapping):
- Assists in overseeing complex design work among TxDOT entities, consultants and contractors.
- Evaluates and analyzes highly complex design issues.
- Assists in overseeing project assignments and determining work requirements to complete project plans and coordinates scheduling to accommodate projects already underway.
- Assists in overseeing project design involving design calculations and sketches of plans, layouts and typical sections.
- Coordinates compilation of complete plan packages for submission to the responsible engineer or architect for review and signature.
- Coordinates with roadway design on schematics and reviews in-house and consultant traffic control plans or traffic projects.
- Develops and prepares consultant work orders and agreements.
- Develops site layouts utilizing engineering workstations and software.
- May serve as a lead worker and the related tasks.
- Oversees permit operations.
- Researches and analyzes incoming correspondence, reports and other written material.
- Reviews and oversees plan packages submitted by consultants.
- Performs other job responsibilities as assigned.
We need to combine and deduplicate.
Let's create a set of unique duties:
1. Assists in overseeing design work among TxDOT entities, consultants and contractors.
2. Assists in overseeing project design involving design calculations and sketches of plans, layouts and typical sections.
3. Evaluates and analyzes complex design issues. (III) and highly complex design issues (IV) – we could keep both? Might differentiate but we can keep both as separate bullet: "Evaluates and analyzes complex design issues" and "Evaluates and analyzes highly complex design issues". Keep both.
4. Coordinates compilation of complete plan packages for submission to the responsible engineer or architect for review and signature.
5. Coordinates with roadway design on schematics and reviews in-house and consultant traffic control plans or traffic projects.
6. Develops and prepares consultant work orders and agreements.
7. Develops site layouts utilizing engineering workstations and software.
8. Oversees permit operations.
9. Performs data collection, evaluations, analyses, studies, inspections, forecasts, assessments, and/or plan development.
10. Researches and analyzes incoming correspondence, reports and other written material.
11. Reviews and oversees plan packages submitted by consultants.
12. Assists in overseeing project assignments and determining work requirements to complete project plans and coordinates scheduling to accommodate projects already underway.
13. May serve as a lead worker and the related tasks.
14. Performs other job responsibilities as assigned.
15. Employees at this level establish their own work plan and priorities to meet set objectives. (from earlier)
16. Work requires contact with governmental officials, consultants, contractors and private entities.
17. Assists with project planning and oversight, and the development of policies and procedures for area of responsibility.
18. Issues are rarely referred to the supervisor but are handled at the occurrence.
We could incorporate some of those into About the role rather than Responsibilities. But we already have About the role covering first paragraph. The later sentences about establishing work plan, contact, planning oversight, etc could be part of Responsibilities as well. But we can keep them in About the role to avoid duplication. However About the role already includes: "Assists with project planning and oversight, and the development of policies and procedures for area of responsibility. Work requires contact with governmental officials, consultants, contractors and private entities. Employees at this level establish their own work plan and priorities to meet set objectives. Issues are rarely referred to the supervisor but are handled at the occurrence." That's exactly those sentences. So we keep them in About the role.
Thus Responsibilities section will focus on the duties list.
Now Minimum Qualifications:
"Education: Bachelor's Degree in a related discipline. Relevant experience may be substituted for education on a year per year basis. Substitutions for Minimum Qualifications Experience: 5 years transportation design, construction, traffic operations, maintenance, bridge inspection experience. (Experience can be satisfied by full time or prorated part time equivalent). Licenses and Certifications: Valid driver’s license. This position requires driving a state vehicle."
We need to output as Requirements or Qualifications. Use
Requirements
maybe. We'll put as Requirements.
We need to use - for any list. This is not a list but we could still format as
. However we could break into list items: Education, Experience, Licenses. Might be better as
. The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should treat requirements as list.
Thus:
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in a related discipline (relevant experience may be substituted for education on a year-per-year basis).
- 5 years transportation design, construction, traffic operations, maintenance, bridge inspection experience (full-time or prorated part-time equivalent).
- Valid driver’s license; position requires driving a state vehicle.
Now Preferred Qualifications: includes Competencies for III and IV. That's a lot. We'll create a Skills section.
We need to list competencies. Could be long but we must preserve all substantive info. We'll create bullet list of competencies for III and IV combined, deduplicate.
Let's extract competencies for III:
- Considerable knowledge of Contract development and oversight.
- Contract development and management policies and procedures
- Applicable plans, specifications and estimates preparation, review, processing and compliance requirements.

- Using computers, applicable programs, applications, and systems.
- Ability to: Communicate effectively.
- Other Attributes: Exercises logic and reasoning to define problems, establish facts and draw valid conclusions; makes decisions that support business objectives and goals.
We need to deduplicate. Many items overlap. We'll create a combined list:
- Extensive knowledge of construction engineering policies and procedures.
- Extensive knowledge of design and plan preparation methods and requirements.
- Extensive knowledge of highway construction and maintenance.
- Considerable knowledge of contract development and oversight.
- Considerable knowledge of contract development and management policies and procedures.
- Considerable knowledge of applicable plans, specifications and estimates preparation, review, processing and compliance requirements.
- Proficient skill in maintaining effective
for prose. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove Conditions of Employment link etc. Also remove Position Information? Might keep location? The posting includes "Position Information TxDOT's Wichita Falls District is looking for a Transportation Specialist III or IV in our Design Department." That's substantive. Could be part of About the role. We need to avoid duplicating lines like "Reviews and oversees plan packages submitted by consultants." appears twice; we should keep only once?

(III) and highly complex design issues (IV) – we could keep both? Might differentiate but we can keep both as separate bullet: "Evaluates and analyzes complex design issues" and "Evaluates and analyzes highly complex design issues". Keep both. 4. Coordinates compilation of complete plan packages for submission to the responsible engineer or architect for review and signature. 5. Coordinates with roadway design on schematics and reviews in-house and consultant traffic control plans or traffic projects. 6. Develops and prepares consultant work orders and agreements. 7.

Issues are rarely referred to the supervisor but are handled at the occurrence. We could incorporate some of those into About the role rather than Responsibilities. But we already have About the role covering first paragraph. The later sentences about establishing work plan, contact, planning oversight, etc could be part of Responsibilities as well. But we can keep them in About the role to avoid duplication. However About the role already includes: "Assists with project planning and oversight, and the development of policies and procedures for area of responsibility.

Issues are rarely referred to the supervisor but are handled at the occurrence." That's exactly those sentences. So we keep them in About the role. Thus Responsibilities section will focus on the duties list. Now Minimum Qualifications: "Education: Bachelor's Degree in a related discipline. Relevant experience may be substituted for education on a year per year basis. Substitutions for Minimum Qualifications Experience: 5 years transportation design, construction, traffic operations, maintenance, bridge inspection experience. (Experience can be satisfied by full time or prorated part time equivalent). Licenses and Certifications: Valid driver’s license. This position requires driving a state vehicle." We need to output as Requirements or Qualifications. Use
