Key sections:
- About the role / Purpose: The first paragraph about Divergent and purpose. Could be "About the role" or "Purpose". Use About the role
maybe.
- Responsibilities: The "The Role" bullet points: Own Print Operations, Build & Lead a High-Performance Team, Drive Process Rigor, Improve Throughput, Utilization & Cost, Solve Complex Manufacturing Problems. Those are responsibilities.
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? Could be "Qualifications" or "Requirements". The posting has Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Also Leadership Profile, Operational & Technical Experience, Execution Skills, Work Environment. Those could be under Requirements or Skills. We need to decide sections.
We have to use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to include only those with real content.
We have Pay Range: $116,420 USD - $160,080 USD. So we can have Pay section.
Benefits: "What We Offer:" includes Holistic Compensation Package, Wellness and Time Off, Comprehensive Health and Wellness, Investment in Growth, Collaborative and High-Performing Environment. That's benefits.
Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned; there is mention of "May occasionally require extended or weekend hours to meet production deadlines." That's schedule info. Could be Schedule section.
We also have Work Environment details; could be under Requirements or Skills? Might be under Requirements (physical demands). But we have a separate heading for Skills maybe.
We need to decide mapping.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content.
Let's extract content:
About the role / Purpose:
"Divergent is building the new industrial age. Every day, our teams design, manufacture, and assemble advanced systems for some of the world’s most demanding industries. Our integrated engineering and manufacturing platform transforms complex designs into production-ready solutions, helping customers move faster, build smarter, and deliver critical systems when they matter most. Divergent is a qualified Tier 1 supplier to global automotive OEMs and supports leading U.S. aerospace and defense companies. Join us and help push the boundaries of what can be built.
Purpose As an Additive Manufacturing Print Supervisor, you will lead a team of highly trained technicians operating a growing fleet of Monolith LPBF additive manufacturing systems. You will own day-to-day print operations, improve equipment utilization, develop technical talent, and establish the operational discipline required to deliver consistent, certifiable production at scale. This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in high-reliability, procedure-driven environments and knows how to build teams, enforce standards, solve complex problems, and continuously improve performance."
We can combine into About the role.
Responsibilities: The bullet list under "The Role". Let's extract each bullet:
- Own Print Operations
Lead daily print operations with accountability for safety, quality, throughput, and delivery.
Ensure build plates are executed in accordance with established procedures, specifications, and production requirements.
Establish objective performance metrics and drive continuous improvement across the print operation.
Identify operational risks and scheduling constraints before they impact production commitments.
- Build & Lead a High-Performance Team
Hire, train, coach, and develop a growing team of additive manufacturing technicians.
Establish rigorous training and qualification standards aligned with aerospace and defense requirements.
Build technical depth and bench strength across the organization.
Develop future technician leads and frontline leaders through structured coaching and development.
- Drive Process Rigor
Establish and reinforce standardized work, procedures, audits, and documentation systems.
Ensure consistent execution across shifts, technicians, and equipment.
Identify gaps in processes and work instructions and partner with Engineering and Manufacturing Development to close them.
Foster a culture where technicians understand not only what to do, but why it matters.
- Improve Throughput, Utilization & Cost
Improve printer utilization, labor efficiency, yield, and consumable usage.
Identify constraints and opportunities across the print value stream.
Develop and execute a pipeline of high-impact improvement initiatives with measurable results.
Use data to prioritize investments and improvements based on operational impact and return.
- Solve Complex Manufacturing Problems
Lead structured problem solving across equipment, process, material, and part-quality issues.
Partner with Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and other cross-functional teams to identify root causes.
Implement corrective and preventive actions that improve long-term reliability and performance.
Translate lessons learned into improved processes, standards, and training.
We can put these as - each bullet maybe with sub-bullets? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a top-level list for responsibilities, each item can contain multiple sentences. Could also nest lists but not required. Simpler: each responsibility as
- containing the sentences.
Requirements: Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? Also Leadership Profile, Operational & Technical Experience, Execution Skills, Work Environment.
We could have a "Requirements" section that includes Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as lists. Or we could split into Qualifications and Skills. But we need to decide.
The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those.
We need to include only those with real content.
We have content for:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications)
- Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications)
- Skills (maybe Leadership Profile, Operational & Technical Experience, Execution Skills)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule (maybe from work environment about extended/weekend hours)
We must avoid filler. Ensure each section has substantive content.
Let's extract each.

- The culture emphasizes proactive communication, data-driven decision making, and continuous improvement to meet aggressive program timelines while maintaining high standards for quality, safety, and efficiency.
We could treat Work Environment as part of Requirements or Skills, but we have a Schedule heading for extended/weekend hours. However schedule info is within Work Environment. Could create Schedule section with that sentence.
But we also have other schedule info? Not really.
Thus Schedule section: "May occasionally require extended or weekend hours to meet production deadlines." plus maybe mention of fast-paced environment? That's more about work environment.
We could put schedule info under Schedule heading.
Now Benefits: "What We Offer:" includes bullet-like paragraphs. We'll extract each benefit as list items.

Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no or . Use
for headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to use.
Potential sections:
About the role
with paragraphs.
Responsibilities
with - each responsibility.
Requirements
maybe combine Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? Or separate into Qualifications and Skills.
We have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could allocate:
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications (mandatory)
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (preferred)
- Skills: Leadership Profile, Operational & Technical Experience, Execution Skills (maybe combined as skills)
But we also have Work Environment; could be part of Requirements or Skills. Might be better to put under Requirements as physical demands.
But we have Schedule heading separate.
Let's think: The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine some.
We could have:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (includes Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Leadership Profile, Operational & Technical Experience, Execution Skills, Work Environment)
- Benefits
- Pay
- Schedule
That's 6 sections. Might be okay.
But we need to avoid filler. Each section must have substantive content.
Let's draft.
About the role: combine the introductory paragraphs and purpose.
Responsibilities: list each of the five responsibility areas.
Requirements: we need to list Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Leadership Profile, Operational & Technical Experience, Execution Skills, Work Environment. That's a lot but still substantive.
