Okay, let me try to tackle this request. The user wants to normalize the given job description into a concise mini-job profile for job matching. They specified several points to focus on. Let me start by breaking down the requirements.
First, the output should include: Job title, Role Summary, Expectations, Key Responsibilities, Required Skills, Required Education & Certifications. The summary is for job matching, so it needs to be factual, concise, and ATS-friendly. Also, the user mentioned to exclude company details, location, benefits, and any fluff. The maximum is 500 words.
The original job title is "Sr. Capital Project Sourcing Specialist - EPC Contracting". I'll keep that as is.
Next, the Role Summary. The job description has a Position Summary which talks about leading and executing large-scale EPC contracts. The key points here are leading project sourcing strategies for $250M+ projects, implementing cost-saving strategies, negotiating commercial terms, and managing post-award contracts. I should condense that into a one-sentence summary.
For Expectations, they mentioned the essential responsibilities. The main ones are executing procurement strategies, developing cost models and bid requirements, leading evaluations, leading negotiations, and managing risk strategies. But the user wants "Expectations" to be concise, so maybe list each bullet point as a brief statement.
Key Responsibilities would include the main duties. The job description lists several under Essential Responsibilities. I need to extract each task but rephrase them as responsibilities. For example, executing strategies, developing cost models, leading bid evaluations, etc. Need to make sure these are in bullet form, concise, and not repeating.
Required Skills: The job requires expert contract knowledge, negotiation, project management, procurement systems proficiency, interpersonal skills. Also mention the need for an MBA or CPSM as preferred. But the Required Skills section should focus on mandatory skills, not the preferred ones. However, under Education & Certifications, the MBA and CPSM are considered preferred but not mandatory. The user wants to exclude fluff, so just list the necessary skills here.
Education & Certifications: Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Engineering, etc., 8 years of purchasing experience, including construction contracts. Also, the certifications like MBA/CPSM are strongly preferred. Need to split required and preferred here, but the user said to include Required Education & Certifications. So Bachelor's degree is required, and the others are preferred.
I need to check for any fluff like the company's mission statements or benefits mentions. The last paragraph about Xcel Energy should be excluded. Also, the part about the application process and driver's license requirement? Wait, the user said to exclude location and benefits, but the driver's license is a job requirement. Wait, the original Minimum Requirements include a driver's license, which is necessary for up to 20% travel. So that should be included in the Required Skills or another section? Let me check the original job description's Minimum Requirements: "Must be results-oriented and customer focused. Strong interpersonal, relationship, and presentation skills are required. Up to 20% travel; driver's license required." So the driver's license is a requirement. Should that be in Key Responsibilities or Required Skills? Maybe under Required Skills as "Driver's license". The user said to exclude location, so not the location, but the driver's license is part of the job's requirements and needs to be included.
Also, the Minimum Requirements mention eight years of purchasing or sourcing experience, including construction project contract experience. That's under Education & Certifications? No, the Education is the Bachelor's. So the experience is part of the Expectations or Key Responsibilities?
Wait, the user's structure includes "Role Summary", "Expectations", "Key Responsibilities", etc. Let me reorganize the information accordingly.
Role Summary: High-level overview.
Expectations: Maybe the expectations here are the experience needed. Wait, the original job description's Minimum Requirements include the years of experience and education. The user wants to split into Education & Certifications. So the "Expectations" section might refer to the role's expectations, i.e., what the job requires from the candidate in terms of responsibilities. But the instructions say under "Expectations", but looking at the example output, perhaps the "Expectations" is actually the job's responsibilities, while the "Key Responsibilities" is a list of actions. Wait, maybe the user's structure has a typo? Let me read the original instruction again.
The user says: "Output only: Job title, Role Summary, Expactations, Key Responsibilities, Required Skills, Required Education & Certifications." Wait, "Expactations" is probably a typo for "Expectations". So that's the main structure.
So the Role Summary is the summary of the role. Then Expectations are what the job expects from the employee. But in the given example, I need to parse the job description to fit into these sections.
For example, in the given job description, the Minimum Requirements include education, certifications, experience, skills. The Key Responsibilities are the tasks they need the employee to do. The Required Skills are maybe things like contract knowledge, negotiation, etc. The Education & Certifications is the degree and preferred certs.
So the Expectations might be a list of the required experience and skills, but given the user's instruction to have separate sections, maybe the Expectations here are the main objectives or what the role expects, while Key Responsibilities are the list of tasks. But the way the original structure is, perhaps it's similar to the job description's Essential Responsibilities. However, the user wants ATS-friendly, which means keywords for Applicant Tracking Systems. So using the exact terms from the job ad.
So putting it all together, making sure to exclude any company fluff. The main points are: leading large-scale EPC contracts over $250M, developing sourcing strategies, negotiating, post-award management, risk mitigation, supplier performance, etc.
Now, translating that into each section:
Role Summary: Brief statement about the role's purpose.
Expectations: What the candidate needs to have, maybe the years of experience, certifications, skills.
Key Responsibilities: The day-to-day tasks.
Required Skills: Technical skills, soft skills.
Education & Certifications: Formal education and required certifications.
Wait, the user's structure includes "Expectations" but in the job description, the essential responsibilities are the tasks. So maybe the Expectations here refer to the candidate's experience and skills. Let me check the original instructions again.
The user says: Output only: Job title, Role Summary, Expactations, Key Responsibilities, Required Skills, Required Education & Certifications.
So the structure is:
- Role Summary (a sentence or two)
- Expectations (what the job requires from the candidate, like experience, skills)
- Key Responsibilities (the main tasks)
- Required Skills (skills needed)
- Required Education & Certifications (formal education and certifications)
Wait, maybe the "Expectations" here are the candidate's qualifications, and the "Key Responsibilities" are the tasks. So to separate them, the Expectations would be the qualifications and background the candidate must have, whereas Key Responsibilities are the actual work they need to do.
But let me check the example given in the user's mind. For instance, in standard ATS-friendly profiles, the structure is usually:
Role Summary: Brief overview.
Responsibilities: Tasks.
Skills: Required skills.
Education/Certifications: Qualifications.
But according to the user's specific instructions, the structure is different: Expectations, Key Responsibilities, etc.
Looking at the user's example structure, the "Expectations" might be a mix of the candidate's experience and the company's expectations from them. But for clarity, perhaps the "Expectations" here are the candidate's required experience and skills, and Key Responsibilities are the tasks.
Given the original job description's Essential Responsibilities are the main tasks, and the Minimum Requirements are the candidate's qualifications (education, experience, certifications), the mapping would be:
Role Summary: High-level summary.
Expectations: Years of experience, specific experience (construction contract, etc.), skills like negotiation, project management.
Key Responsibilities: The list of tasks from Essential Responsibilities.
Required Skills: Contract knowledge, negotiation, etc.
Education/Certifications: Bachelor's, preferred MBA/CPSM, etc.
But the user wants to keep each section as separate points. Also, the user mentioned to exclude fluff and be concise.
Now, translating the job description into these sections, making sure each bullet is concise and uses the correct terms. Also, keeping it globally neutral (not using location-specific terms unless necessary).
Need to make sure that the required experience (eight years) is mentioned in the Expectations or Education/Certifications. Let's see:
Original job's Minimum Requirements:
- Bachelor's deg in specified fields
- Eight years of purchasing/sourcing experience, including construction project contract experience
- Expert contract knowledge, negotiation, project management skills
- Proficiency in MS Office and procurement systems
So for Education & Certifications, Bachelor's is required; the eight years of experience would go under Expectations, perhaps.
But wait, the user's structure has "Expected" and "Key Responsibilities". Let me recheck.
Looking back: the user wants "Expactations" (Expectations), Key Responsibilities, Required Skills, Required Education & Certifications.
The user's instruction says: "Provide a concise summary for job matching. Max 500 words. Exclude company details, location, benefits, or fluff. Output only: Job title, Role Summary, Expactations, Key Responsibilities, Required Skills, Required Education & Certifications. Keep it factual, concise, ATS-friendly, and globally neutral."
So Expectations here might be the expectations from the candidate, hence including the experience and skills. Key Responsibilities are the job tasks. Required Skills are like the soft skills and technical proficiencies. Education/Certifications are the formal education and certifications.
