Utility Locator
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: Viaero Fiber is adding a utility locator to provide locating and protection of our fiber network in the Columbus, Nebraska/Norfolk, Nebraska region. Utility Locators with Viaero Fiber Networks are responsible for identifying and accurately marking the location of our underground utility lines by utilizing electromagnetic locators, ensuring safe excavation practices for construction projects by communicating findings to contractors, clients and our office staff while adhering to industry safety standards and regulations.

The spec says we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - About the role: intro paragraph describing role and region. - Responsibilities: Job Duties and Responsibilities list. - Requirements: maybe Essential Functions (be at least 21, driver's license, etc.) plus maybe some other requirements like ability to walk, etc. Could also include Required Skills? But we have separate Skills section. - Qualifications: maybe not distinct; could combine with Requirements? But we can have Qualifications for education/experience? Not present. - Skills: Required Skills list. - Benefits: none mentioned. - Pay: none. - Schedule: mention on-call schedule (Availability to be On Call) maybe part of Requirements or Skills? It is about schedule. Could create Schedule section with that detail. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have real content. Thus:

We should not repeat job title. No mention of Pay/Benefits. We must ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece. About the role paragraph: combine first sentences: "Viaero Fiber is adding a utility locator to provide locating and protection of our fiber network in the Columbus, Nebraska/Norfolk, Nebraska region. Utility Locators with Viaero Fiber Networks are responsible for identifying and accurately marking the location of our underground utility lines by utilizing electromagnetic locators, ensuring safe excavation practices for construction projects by communicating findings to contractors, clients and our office staff while adhering to industry safety standards and regulations.

As a utility line locator, you would be responsible for completing all assigned tickets by their scheduled due date. Completing tickets consists of accurately locating and marking existing underground fiber optic lines, taking clear photos of your markings, and entering needed notes of the locate into our system. It also consists of scheduling and completing standbys with project managers." That is the core. Responsibilities list: items under "Job Duties and Responsibilities". Let's list each bullet: - Locate Utilities: Utilize specialized equipment to detect and pinpoint the location of underground fiber optic line. - Marking and Flagging: Clearly mark the location of detected utilities using flags, paint, or stakes to indicate the precise path of underground lines to excavation crews. - Data Recording: Maintain accurate records of utility locations, including depth, type, and any relevant observations, using electronic data collection systems and field documentation. - Site Assessment: Conduct pre-construction site surveys to identify potential utility conflicts and coordinate with project stakeholders to ensure safe excavation procedures.

Effective verbal and listening skills. - Safety Compliance: Adhere to all safety protocols and procedures related to utility locating, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and following industry standards. We should keep the text as is. Requirements list: Essential Functions items: - Be able to follow driving directions from 811 One-Calls - Be able to walk 3 to 5 miles a day, if needed, carrying equipment - Be at least 21, and have a valid driver's license with good driving record - Ability to work in extreme outdoor weather - Ability to adapt to adverse situations - Ability to learn new devices and changing laws - Keep the immediate supervisor/manager aware of any issues or problems in the field - Correctly, safely, and efficiently locate underground utilities - Thoroughly search for underground utilities in a designated area, accurately marking location and completing. - Demonstrate good time management skills. - Willingness to learn skills and to help in other areas of the department We could combine some similar but keep as list. Skills list: Required Skills items: - Technical Skills: Proficient in operating various utility locating equipment. Proficient computer skills. - Map Reading: Ability to interpret and read utility maps, blueprints, and construction plans accurately. Ability to maneuver Google Earth and other map functions. - Attention to Detail: High level of accuracy and precision when marking utility locations and documenting information. - Physical Fitness: Ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions, walk long distances and work on construction sites. Able to bend and lift up to 50lbs. - Communication Skills: Effective verbal and written communication to convey information clearly to clients, contractors and office staff. - Valid Driver's License: Must have a clean MVR and be comfortable driving in both rural and city environments. - Pass a Drug Screen: This is a safety-sensitive position. Our substance screening follows federal law. - Pass a Background Check: Must meet standards for criminal background. - Availability to be On Call: Our Technicians are required to be on a rotating on-call schedule for evenings and weeks, including all holidays. But note "Availability to be On Call" we moved to Schedule section. Might duplicate. Better to keep it under Schedule and not repeat in Skills. However the spec says we should not duplicate content. So we should either keep it in Skills or Schedule, not both. Since Schedule is more appropriate for on-call schedule, we can put that there and remove from Skills list. Thus Skills list excludes the on-call item. Now Schedule section:Availability to be on a rotating on-call schedule for evenings and weeks, including all holidays.
We need to ensure we didn't miss any other substantive info: mention of "IND123" maybe job ID; we can drop or put in a shortas metadata. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could add a
at end:
Job ID: IND123
but that's minor metadata. Could drop it entirely. Safer to drop. Now produce HTML fragment. We must not include or . Just the fragment. Let's craft:About the role
