Machining Technology Adjunct
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info. Let's parse the posting.

No Work Schedule Varies. Candidates must have daytime availability. Sensitive Position No - Job Description: long paragraph about TCC. - Functional Responsibilities: bullet list (but in prose).

We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, ADA, E-Verify, background check statement? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the background check statement, EEO statement, ADA statement, E-Verify statement, etc. Also drop contact name email phone number if not provided. Also drop posting number? It's minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop it. Probably drop. We need to preserve all substantive information: about TCC (job description), responsibilities, qualifications, additional considerations, work schedule, pay range, location, part-time, etc. We need sections: maybe About the role (includes description of TCC and role), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine required qualifications and additional considerations?), Skills (maybe from KSA?), Benefits (none given), Pay (we have hiring range), Schedule (work schedule varies, daytime availability). Also maybe Location? Not a specified heading but could be part of About the role. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay section: we have actual numbers $793 - $1,375 per credit hour. That's specific, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: "Work Schedule Varies. Candidates must have daytime availability." That's specific enough? It says varies but also daytime availability. It's not placeholder like "varies" alone; we have additional detail. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: none stated, so omit. Skills: we have communication, interpersonal, ability to work with diverse population, commitment to hands-on, ability to communicate electronically, technology skills, etc. Could be a Skills section. Qualifications: required qualifications list. We also have Additional Considerations which could be "Preferred Qualifications" but we don't have a heading for that; we could incorporate into Qualifications or Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Required Qualifications and Additional Considerations into a single Qualifications section, with sub-items? But we must use
- for any list. Could have two lists: Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. But we need headings for each if we separate. Could do Qualifications (required) and Preferred Qualifications. Both have content.
But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine required and additional into one Qualifications section, but we need to differentiate? Could just list all items under Qualifications. That's okay.
Similarly, Skills could be part of Qualifications? But they asked for Skills heading if we have content. We have communication, interpersonal, technology skills, etc. Could be Skills.
Let's decide sections:
- About the role: includes description of TCC and role (job description paragraph). Might also include location, part-time, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of functional responsibilities and special assignments.
- Qualifications: required qualifications (HS diploma, 5 years experience, communication skills, diverse student population, hands-on instruction, electronic communication) plus additional considerations (diploma/associate, prior teaching, CNC experience, Canvas, teaching strategies, tech skills). Could be one list.
- Skills: maybe we could merge into Qualifications; but we already have communication etc. Might be redundant. Perhaps we skip Skills section and put those under Qualifications.
- Pay: hiring range.
- Schedule: work schedule varies, daytime availability.
We should not include sections like Benefits if none.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use
for headings. Use
- for lists. Use
for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details. Let's extract details: About the role: - Tidewater Community College has served South Hampton Roads – both students and employers – for 50 years. It has grown from 1 campus into a regional educational and economic force. TCC is the largest provider of higher education and workforce services in Hampton Roads, enrolling nearly 25,000 students in 2024-25. Founded in 1968 as a part of the Virginia Community College System, Tidewater Community College (TCC) services South Hampton Roads with 4 campuses in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach, 7 regional centers and 2 important cultural institutions. The college had 3,399 graduates in 2024-2025, 40 percent of whom pursued degrees that would let them transfer to 4-year institutions. Of South Hampton Roads residents enrolled in higher education 33% enrolled at TCC. TCC’s institutional accreditation is affirmed through 2027 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. - The adjunct faculty member is responsible for teaching courses to which he/she has specific training or competence. Plans, organizes, teaches, and provides feedback to students to promote and direct student learning in either a classroom, remote via Zoom, or online environment to students with a wide variety of academic backgrounds and experiences. Engages students outside of class via office hours and provides thorough, timely, and effective feedback to students regarding the mastery of course and program learning outcomes. We could combine that into a paragraph. Also include Work Location: Chesapeake - 550 (maybe address). Part-Time. Hiring Range: $793 - $1,375 per credit hour, commensurate with qualifications and experience. (We'll put in Pay section.) Telework options: No. Bilingual requirement: No. Emergency/Essential Personnel: No. Sensitive Position: No. FLSA Exempt Pay Band UG Position Number etc. Not needed. Work Schedule: Varies. Candidates must have daytime availability. Now Responsibilities: From Functional Responsibilities: - Responsible for creating a learning environment that facilitates students’ acquisition of knowledge and skills in a discipline and/or program. - Aligns course activities with student learning outcomes for the course; employ a variety of active learning strategies to foster student engagement; employ appropriate technology and supporting materials that support course and/or program learning outcomes; and provide students with prompt and meaningful feedback on course activities and assignments, communicating with students in a timely and respectful manner. - Deliver instruction in support of stated learning outcomes; adhere to college policies and procedures for participation in student surveys of instruction; conduct meaningful and timely assessments of student learning, including at least one assessment within the first 15% of class; and analyze the previous semester’s evaluation of instruction and develop and implement appropriate action plans as necessary. - Responsibilities may include work during the day, evening and/or weekend as determined by the course(s) assigned. - Hold at least 1 office hour per week for each course assigned. Special Assignments: - May be required to perform other duties as assigned. - May be required to assist the agency or state government generally in the event of an emergency declaration by the Governor. We can combine these into a list. Qualifications (Required): - High School Diploma (or equivalent) - Minimum of five years of industry experience in machining, including CNC and manual operations. - Strong communication and interpersonal skills. - Ability to work effectively with a diverse student population. - Commitment to hands-on, student-centered instruction. - Ability to communicate effectively in an electronic format. Additional Considerations (Preferred): - Diploma in Machine Tool Technology, Precision Machining, or apprenticeship. - Associates degree or higher in a related technical, education field or apprenticeship. - Prior teaching or training experience at the post-secondary or workforce level. - Experience with modern CNC equipment, CAM software (e.g., Autodesk, Inventor, Fusion 360, etc), and digital manufacturing tools. - Teaching experience at the college level. - Knowledge of CANVAS or other learning management systems. - Knowledge of, and experience with, proven teaching strategies that promote student success. - Candidates should possess sufficient technology skills to work productively in an organization that utilizes significant information and instructional technology resources. We could combine into one list under Qualifications, maybe with a note that these are preferred? But we risk losing distinction. However instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep both required and preferred as separate subheadings? But we only allowed headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not "Required Qualifications" vs "Preferred Qualifications". Could put all under Qualifications and maybe add a note like "Preferred qualifications include..." but that would be extra text not in original? We could add a
before list: "Preferred qualifications include:" then list. That's okay as it's not inventing content, just summarizing that these are additional considerations. But we must not invent detail; we can state that these are additional considerations as per posting. That's fine. Thus Qualifications section:
Required qualifications:
- ... required items...
- for any list. That's fine. Now Skills: we could skip because communication etc already in qualifications. But we might still have a Skills section for things
Additional considerations (preferred):
- ... preferred items...
But we need to use
- for lists. Use
