Water Plant Operator

We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Title: Water Plant Operator (but we don't repeat as heading) - Salary: $70,928.00 - $90,792.00 Annually - Location: Central Maintenance Facility - Apple Valley, MN - Job Type: Full-Time Regular - Job Number: 2026-00063 (should not be heading; can be in short p) - Department: Public Works - Division: Utilities - Opening Date: 08/31/2026 - Closing Date: 9/16/2026 12:00 PM Central - Description: Summary Of Position: Responsible for assisting the Public Works Supervisor – Utilities Water Treatment with operation, maintenance, and repair of wells, raw water collection system, towers, booster station, Water Treatment Plant, monitoring water distribution system; also at times performs tasks of Maintenance Worker I and II – Utilities; must be available for extended workdays, call back, shift schedule changes, on-call duty, weekend shifts, snow and ice control and other emergencies. - Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list many bullet-like sentences. We need to turn into

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. - Qualifications: Minimum Requirements list bullet points. - Preferred Qualifications list bullet points. - Working Conditions And Physical Requirements: paragraph. - Benefits Information Not Available (so we should NOT create Benefits section because no real content). The posting says "Benefits Information Not Available". So we should not include Benefits heading. - Pay: we have salary range, so we can include Pay section. - Schedule: Not explicitly given, but there is mention of shift schedule changes, on-call duty, weekend shifts, etc. Could we infer schedule? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting does not explicitly state schedule like "Monday-Friday 8am-5pm" etc. It mentions shift schedule changes, on-call, weekend shifts, but not a defined schedule. Likely we should not create Schedule section because no explicit schedule stated. So we omit Schedule. - About the role: Could be a summary paragraph. We can include About the role section with the summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Requirements and Preferred Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which headings to use. We have Qualifications (minimum and preferred). Could also have Skills (maybe from qualifications). But we should not create thin sections. Prefer few substantive sections. We could have:

  Qualifications

  • Minimum Requirements:
  ... maybe separate sublists? Could just list all qualification items as
  • . Might be okay. We could also have

    Skills

    but not needed if we put skills in Qualifications. Pay:

    Pay

    $70,928.00 - $90,792.00 Annually

    We also have location, job type, department, division, opening/closing dates, job number. Where to put? Could be in About the role paragraph or a separate

    metadata. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can include a short

    with location, job type, department, division, opening/closing dates, job number. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting: location, job type, job number, department, division, opening date, closing date, salary, summary, duties, qualifications (minimum and preferred), working conditions/physical requirements. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, veteran's preference questions, application questions, privacy policy, etc. We need to strip out the questions (01-13) and the veteran preference stuff, etc. Also remove the "Benefits Information Not Available" line (we already not creating Benefits). Also remove the "Required Question Employer City of Apple Valley Address..." etc. That's boilerplate. Also remove the "Please verify your email address Verify Email Job Opportunities Account Privacy Policy Terms Of Use Accessibility Statement Copyright ..." etc. Also remove the "Do not sell my personal information" etc. Also remove the "Accessibility Statement" sections. Thus final HTML will contain:

    Maybe also include Preferred Qualifications as part of Qualifications? Could add a subheading? But we cannot add extra headings not in list. Could add another

    Preferred Qualifications

    but that's not in allowed list (Allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Preferred Qualifications could go under Qualifications as well, but we could also add a

    Skills

    for preferred qualifications? However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine minimum and preferred into Qualifications section, maybe separate with a note. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include both sets as list items. Thus Qualifications list will include both minimum and preferred items. Preferred Qualifications items: - Class B Water Supply Systems Operator certification. - Technical training in water/wastewater operations. - One or more years of work experience in a Membrane Water treatment plant. - One or more years of work experience in equipment maintenance and operations of a water treatment plant. - Class SD MPCA Collection System License. We'll add those as list items. Also we have Working Conditions And Physical Requirements paragraph. Where to put? Could be under Qualifications or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". Not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into Qualifications or maybe under Responsibilities? Better to add a

    Working Conditions

    but not allowed. However we could put it under Qualifications as part of the list? Might be odd. Perhaps we can add a

    Requirements

    section for working conditions? The allowed headings include Requirements. So we could use Requirements for working conditions and physical requirements. That seems appropriate. Thus:

    Requirements

    Work is performed primarily at project sites or the water treatment plant. Performs on-call utility duty on a rotating basis to respond to utility related issues outside of normal business hours.
