Light Board Programmer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes job description text. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Include only sections with real specific content. We have: - About the role: we can summarize the first paragraph(s) describing role. Provide prose

. - Responsibilities: list of essential functions/duties. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Job Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Knowledge Required? Actually they have Minimum Job Qualifications, Knowledge Required, Skills and Abilities Required. Could combine. But we need to avoid filler sections like Benefits if not present. Benefits not mentioned. Pay: we have Hiring Range: $26 - $28/hour; salary dependent on relevant experience and education. So we can include Pay section with that info. Schedule: we have anticipated schedule list of productions with dates. Also mention evening and weekend hours required, partial availability considered. So we can include Schedule section with list. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, diversity statement, accommodation, etc. Also remove "This document does not create an employment contract..." etc. Also remove "Employee Type: Temporary (Fixed Term)" maybe not needed but could be considered metadata; but we can drop minor metadata. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep details about productions schedule, hours per production, etc. Let's extract: Job Description paragraph: "The Light Board Programmer at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee (BCB) provides critical expertise and support for BCB productions including musicals, operas, plays, etc. The Light Board Programmer serves as the primary controller of the lighting console in the technical rehearsal period, collaborating with professional designers and student workers to support the artistic vision of a production. Under the department of Performance Services, the Light Board Programmer reports to the Production Operations Manager and collaborates closely with the full production team, including guest directors, guest designers, and faculty of Theater, Dance, and Music divisions. Boston Conservatory students fulfill positions on productions in both curricular and professional capacities, and the Light Board Programmer will be expected to provide support to student board operators. This is a temporary part-time non-exempt position that is expected to work on five productions at 20-25 hours per production in the 2026-2027 academic year. Evening and weekend hours will be required. Please see the anticipated schedule below, which includes technical rehearsals and dress rehearsals. The schedule is subject to change, and partial availability will be considered." Then schedule list: - Sweeney Todd in Concert: 9/26/26 - 9/29/26 - She Loves Me: 10/31/26 - 11/2/26 - La Boheme: 11/14/26 - 11/16/26 - Marie Antoinette: 2/20/27 - 2/22/27 - Crazy For You: 4/3/27 - 4/5/27 Essential Functions/Primary Duties and Responsibilities list (bulleted). We'll convert to

Requirements (maybe Minimum Job Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Knowledge Required + Skills and Abilities). Or we could combine Knowledge and Skills into Skills section. But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to use them only if we have content. We could map: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: essential functions list. - Requirements: Minimum Job Qualifications. - Qualifications: Knowledge Required. - Skills: Skills and Abilities Required. - Pay: hiring range. - Schedule: schedule list + evening/weekend note. We should not include Benefits (none). Supervisory Responsibilities and Work Environment maybe could be included under Responsibilities or as separate? But we only have allowed headings; we could incorporate supervisory responsibilities into Responsibilities list. Work environment maybe could be omitted? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit work environment, we lose info. Could we include it under Responsibilities as a bullet? It's not a duty but a condition. Could we add a separate section like "Working Conditions"? Not allowed headings. Could we incorporate into Responsibilities as a note? Might be okay but risk losing detail. However instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine work environment and supervisory responsibilities into Responsibilities or maybe a separate "Requirements"? But better to keep them as part of Responsibilities list? Might be okay. Alternatively we could create a section "Requirements" for minimum qualifications, and "Qualifications" for knowledge, and "Skills" for skills. Then we could add a section "Work Environment" not allowed. So we need to embed that info somewhere else, maybe under Responsibilities as a bullet about work environment? But it's not a responsibility. Could we add a section "About the role" and include work environment there? Might be okay. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can include work environment as a paragraph under About the role or Responsibilities. Let's add a paragraph after responsibilities about work environment. Similarly supervisory responsibilities can be a bullet under Responsibilities. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Now craft HTML. We need to use

  for each section heading. Use

  for prose. Use

  • for lists. We must not include any extra tags like or . Just fragment. Let's draft:
