Utility Analyst 1 / Trainee at New York State Department of Public Service

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: About The Department (maybe "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Title and Grade: Utility Analyst Trainee*, NS, or Utility Analyst 1, Grade 18 (NY HELPS) Salary Range: $56,183 - $88,970 - Position Description: Permanent, Competitive, Full-Time, PS&T - Location: Office of Energy System Planning and Performance, Albany NY - About The Department (content) - Minimum Qualifications (detailed) - Preferred Qualifications - 55-b/c Candidates (maybe not needed? It's a note but not a section heading; we can maybe include under Requirements? But instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. Could include "Qualifications" for minimum qualifications, "Preferred Qualifications" maybe as "Skills"? Actually they gave list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map: - About the role: maybe combine Position Description, Location, About The Department? Could be "About the role" includes description and location. - Responsibilities: Duties Description. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or Skills: Preferred Qualifications includes skills. - Benefits: Not mentioned (no benefits). So omit. - Pay: Salary Range given. So include Pay section. - Schedule: Position Description says Permanent, Competitive, Full-Time, PS&T. So schedule info: Full-Time. Could include Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. Also remove "To Apply" etc. Also remove "Additional Comments" maybe? It contains info about traineeship leading to appointment, NY HELPS program. That's substantive? It mentions successful completion leads to appointment as Utility Analyst 1, Grade 18. That's relevant. Should we keep? It's not boilerplate; it's about the traineeship. Could be placed under About the role or maybe a separate section? But we have limited headings. Could include under About the role. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Duties, Salary, Schedule, Location, About Department, etc. We need to format using

for each section heading,

• for lists,

  for prose. We need to decide which sections to include: - About the role (maybe combine About The Department, Position Description, Location, Additional Comments about traineeship). We'll put prose. - Responsibilities: Duties Description (list). - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (list? It's paragraphs with bullet-like sentences). Could be

  • each requirement. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications (list). Or Skills: Preferred Qualifications includes skills like Python, Excel, Tableau, Power BI, etc. Could be Skills section. - Pay: Salary Range. - Schedule: Full-Time (maybe also Permanent, Competitive, PS&T). We'll put schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we only include those with content. Let's extract content precisely. About The Department paragraph: "The New York State Department of Public Service (DPS or Department) works to: ensure safe, affordable, and reliable access to electric, gas, steam, water, and telecommunications services at just and reasonable rates for New York State customers, protect the natural environment, reduce greenhouse gas emissions via transmission and siting of renewable energy resources, and augment the resiliency of utility infrastructure. Learn more about DPS and how you can make a difference by checking out our video and more at: https://dps.ny.gov/employment-opportunities." We should keep that as prose. Position Description: "Permanent, Competitive, Full-Time, PS&T" Location: "Office of Energy System Planning and Performance, Albany NY" Additional Comments: "Successful completion of the two-year traineeship leads to appointment as a Utility Analyst 1, Grade 18.This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS). For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. At a future date, it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in an NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified. Candidates are encouraged to access GOT-IT on the Civil Service website (www.cs.ny.gov) to determine transfer eligibility" We can include that as prose under About the role. Now Responsibilities (Duties Description): List: - Assist in collecting and analyzing data relevant to assessing the adequacy of utilities planning procedures. - Review capital investments to establish need, cost, and timing for each program or project, including the assessment of alternatives and capital investments’ impacts to disadvantaged communities. - Review and track utility budgets and variances. - Review and prepare reports on utility data trends. - Assist in the preparation of expert testimony to support staff's findings and positions for public hearings before the Public Service Commission. - Participate in staff efforts to collaborate on solutions for, or to negotiate the settlement of issues with utilities and other parties. - Coordinate and produce data analysis, memoranda and written reports for staff and/or outside parties regarding issues related to energy industries. - Assist in the development of plans to conduct and oversee the management and operational audits of utilities. - Additional relevant duties may be required, as directed. We'll put each as
  • . Now Requirements (Minimum Qualifications): We have several paragraphs: "General Public Non-Competitive (NY HELPS)**: For appointment to a Utility Analyst Trainee 1, you must have four years of professional experience (see substitutions) in one or more of the following activities directly related to the gas, water, or electric industry: transmission distribution or production planning, design, construction, operation, safety, or certification; policy formation or implementation; revenue requirement determination; cost allocation; tariff analysis; rate design; competitive energy markets; management and operational audits; implementation and evaluation of energy efficiency programs, renewable generation portfolios or green marketing efforts; policy development and implementation of clean energy programs or initiatives, such as energy efficiency programs, renewable generation portfolios, clean energy standards, or green market development; cost benefit analysis or modeling of emissions impacts of proposed supply-side projects and demand-side programs; or evaluation, measurement and verification of clean energy program or initiatives. For appointment to a Utility Analyst Trainee 2, you must have five years of professional experience (see substitutions) as stated above. For appointment to a Utility Analyst 1, Grade 18, you must have six years of professional experience (see substitutions) as stated above. Substitutions: An associate degree may substitute for two years of experience; a bachelor’s degree may substitute for four years of experience; a master’s degree may substitute for five years of experience; and a doctorate may substitute for six years of experience." We need to preserve all detail. Could format as
    • each bullet? But the content is not a simple list; it's paragraphs with semicolon-separated items. Could break into
    • for each experience level? Might be okay to keep as prose within

      . However instruction: Use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of requirements (experience). Could treat each requirement as a list item: e.g., "Four years of professional experience ... for Utility Analyst Trainee 1", "Five years ... for Utility Analyst Trainee 2", "Six years ... for Utility Analyst 1, Grade 18", plus substitutions. But also the list of activities is long; maybe we keep as prose within

        but instruction says use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The activities list is a list; we could embed as
          • inside the requirement? Might be overkill. Safer: keep the requirement paragraphs as

            but risk violating instruction. However instruction: "Use

            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". The requirements section includes a list of activities; we could make a
              for those activities. But also the experience years are not a list but separate statements. We could structure:

              Requirements

              For appointment to a Utility Analyst Trainee 1, you must have four years of professional experience (see substitutions) in one or more of the following activities directly related to the gas, water, or electric industry:

              • transmission distribution or production planning, design, construction, operation, safety, or certification;
              • policy formation or implementation;
              • revenue requirement determination;
              • cost allocation;
              • tariff analysis;
              • rate design;
              • competitive energy markets;
              • management and operational audits;
              • implementation and evaluation of energy efficiency programs, renewable generation portfolios or green marketing efforts;
              • policy development and implementation of clean energy programs or initiatives, such as energy efficiency programs, renewable generation portfolios, clean energy standards, or green market development;
              • cost benefit analysis or modeling of emissions impacts of proposed supply-side projects and demand-side programs;
              • evaluation, measurement and verification of clean energy program or initiatives.

              For appointment to a Utility Analyst Trainee 2, you must have five years of professional experience (see substitutions) as stated above.

              For appointment to a Utility Analyst 1, Grade 18, you must have six years of professional experience (see substitutions) as stated above.

              Substitutions: An associate degree may substitute for two years of experience; a bachelor’s degree may substitute for four years of experience; a master’s degree may substitute for five years of experience; and a doctorate may substitute for six years of experience.

              That seems thorough and uses lists for the activities. Now Preferred Qualifications: "A degree in data science or computer science and/or experience extracting data from diverse formats (PDF, XLSX, CSV), cleaning and organizing datasets, and performing initial analysis to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies using Python, Excel, or similar tools. Ideal candidates will also have the ability to create visualizations and dashboards with Tableau or Power BI, document processes, research data analytics trends (especially in the energy industry), analyze data flows for efficiency gains, and provide actionable, data-driven recommendations to support team decision-making." We could put as
              • each item? Could be a list of skills. We'll make a Skills section maybe. But we have headings: Skills, Qualifications. We could put Preferred Qualifications under Skills. Or we could have Qualifications for minimum and Skills for preferred. Let's decide: - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (as above) - Skills: Preferred Qualifications (list of skills) - Qualifications: maybe not needed; but we could combine. But instruction: use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have both Qualifications and Skills. We could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications under Skills. Or we could put Minimum under Qualifications and Preferred under Skills. Which is more logical? Usually Requirements =
