Okay, I need to rewrite this job advertisement for a Groundsman I position. The goal is to make it professional, natural, and easy to read while keeping the format neat and clean. Let me start by breaking down the original content to understand what’s essential.

First, the job title and reference number are important. The directorate is Resource Management (RDP), and there’s one post available. The salary is R138,486 per annum with benefits. The contact person is Margaret Digoro.

The requirements are straightforward: an ABET certificate, no experience needed, and a driver’s license is an advantage. The duties involve general maintenance like watering plants, weeding, pruning, mowing lawns, waste disposal, and so on. There’s also mention of infrastructure maintenance like road markings, cleaning signs, unblocking drains, and assisting with firebreaks.

The notes section has application instructions—online or hand-delivered. They emphasize using the new Z83 form, submitting certified copies only if shortlisted, and the need for SAQA evaluation for foreign qualifications. There’s also info about security clearance, employment contracts, and equity promotion.

The location is Abe Bailey Nature Reserve, closing date June 27, 2025. Two criteria questions about ABET level and driver’s license.

Now, to restructure this. I’ll start with a clear title, then bullet points for requirements and duties to make it scannable. I’ll simplify the language, remove redundancy, and ensure all key points are covered. The application process should be clear, and I’ll highlight the closing date.

I need to make sure the HTML is minimal, only using spans and basic formatting like line breaks and bold text where necessary. No extra tags like style or head. Keep it clean and professional.

Let me draft the first section: job title, reference, directorate, posts, salary, and contact info. Then requirements, duties, notes, location, closing date, and criteria questions. I’ll use bold for headings and line breaks for separation.

I think that covers it. Now, time to put it all together in a clear, concise format.
