Physical Requirements

list? But we shouldn't create extra headings not in allowed list? The allowed headings list includes only those specific ones; we could still use

for physical requirements inside Requirements section. Better to keep within Requirements as a

with list. We could do

• for physical requirements. But the instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. So for requirements list we can use

    • . For physical requirements also a list. Thus Requirements section could have two lists: one for education/experience, one for physical requirements. But we need to wrap each in
      • . Could separate with

        headings? Not allowed to add extra headings beyond the allowed list. Could use

        to introduce each list. Simplify: Within Requirements section, we can have a

        for education/experience prose, then a

        • for physical requirements. Similarly Skills section: list of functional/technical skills. Qualifications: maybe list of capabilities and skills (What you OWN, What you need to SUCCEED, What WINNING looks like). Could be a
          • . But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Perhaps combine Qualifications and Skills into one "Qualifications and Skills" section? But headings list includes Qualifications and Skills separately. We could include both if they have content. Let's extract Qualifications: "What you OWN: Running wastewater treatment plants within permit limits; Communicating with the Director of Wastewater to ensure compliance and improvements; Working with the OU team to help grow the company". "What you need to SUCCEED": list of competencies (Action Oriented, Customer Focused, Process Management, Problem Solver, Composure, Understand audience..., Have Functional/Technical Skills/Be Detailed). "What WINNING looks like": list of outcomes. We could treat these as Qualifications. Skills: The functional/technical skills list under "Have Functional/Technical Skills/Be Detailed:" includes: functional and technical knowledge and skills to do the job at a high level; thorough in accomplishing a task; ability to see and pay attention to details; ability to recognize components parts and verify correctness. But that overlaps with Qualifications. Might be redundant. Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called "Qualifications". But headings list includes Skills as separate; we could still include Skills if we have distinct content. However the functional/technical skills list is somewhat similar to the "Have Functional/Technical Skills/Be Detailed" bullet under What you need to SUCCEED. Might be duplication. Better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (covering What you OWN, What you need to SUCCEED, What WINNING looks like), and maybe Schedule (off shift/weekend). Physical requirements could be part of Requirements. Let's draft. We must not include boilerplate like "Learn more", "Read more about what it takes to be part of our team!", "At Operators Unlimited, we equally weigh a person’s potential values..." etc. That's fluff but maybe still substantive? It's about hiring criteria. Could be part of Requirements/Qualifications. But we can keep. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details, but we can rephrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should not omit details, but we can reformat. However we can condense lists but must keep all items. So we need to include each bullet item. Thus we need to include all responsibilities bullets, all education/experience items, physical requirements items, all "What you OWN", "What you need to SUCCEED" items, "What WINNING looks like" items, and functional/technical skills items. That's a lot but doable. Let's extract each list precisely.
