MANAGER, SIGNAGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHIC DESIGN (ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHIC DESIGN)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Mission statement: "Metro’s mission is to provide a world-class transportation system..." That's about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About Metro". We'll treat as "About the role".
- Description: "This position manages the planning, design, and development of major high-visibility customer signage and environmental graphic design projects..." That's duties.
- Recruitment Timelines: "Interviews are projected to be scheduled for the week of 11/9/ 2026 . These dates are subject to change." This is schedule? It's about interview timeline, not work schedule. The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states schedule (like work schedule). This is recruitment timeline, not work schedule. Probably we should not include Schedule.
- Examples of Duties: a long list of duties. That's responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: includes education, experience, certifications/licenses. That's qualifications.
- Preferred Qualifications: list of preferred qualifications. Could be under Qualifications or maybe Skills? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section.
- Essential Knowledge, Skill in, Ability to: these are knowledge, skills, abilities. Could be under Skills section.
- Special Conditions, Working Conditions, Physical Effort Required: these are maybe not needed; they are boilerplate? Might be considered working conditions but not benefits/pay. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Special Conditions includes EEO statements etc. Should be removed. Working Conditions and Physical Effort Required maybe considered part of job description but not specifically requested headings. Could be included under Responsibilities? Probably not. Safer to omit.
- EEO statement at end: remove.
Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe from mission + description), Responsibilities (Examples of Duties), Qualifications (Minimum + Preferred), Skills (Essential Knowledge, Skill in, Ability to). Possibly Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present -> omit.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all details from those sections.
We need to format as headings, then content: use
for prose,
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We need to decide what constitutes a list. The "Examples of Duties" is a long paragraph with many duties separated by line breaks? In the text they are separated by line breaks but not bullet points. We could treat each sentence as a list item? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to convert duties into list items. Similarly for qualifications (education, experience, certifications) maybe list. For skills (knowledge, skill, ability) also list.
We must preserve all substantive information: we cannot lose any detail. So we need to capture each duty sentence as a list item, preserving the exact wording.
We need to be careful not to add or omit words.
Let's extract the duties from "Examples of Duties" section.
The text after "Examples of Duties" is a long string with many sentences concatenated without clear punctuation? Let's copy:

We need to split into separate duties. Each duty seems to start with a verb (Manages, Manages, Manages, Plans, Analyzes, Reviews, Conducts, Conducts, Consults, Works, Interfaces, Develops, Facilitates, Responds, Supports, Allocates, Develops, Facilitates, Collaborates, Works, Provides, Manages, Supervises, Prepares, Represents). There are some duplicates like "Manages" appears multiple times.
We need to preserve each duty exactly as written, including punctuation. The original text has no punctuation between duties; they are just concatenated. We need to insert appropriate separation (like period) but we must not invent text. However we can split based on where a new sentence starts with a capital letter after a lowercase? The original lacks spaces/punctuation; we need to infer boundaries. This is tricky.
Maybe we can keep the whole block as a single paragraph (
) rather than list, to avoid altering text. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we don't have a clear list, we could keep as prose (
). That would satisfy not inventing list items. The instruction says "for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". If it's not presented as a list, we can use
. The original is not a list; it's a paragraph of duties. So we can keep as
. Similarly for Minimum Qualifications: it's a paragraph with education, experience, certifications. Could keep as
. Preferred Qualifications: also paragraph. Essential Knowledge, Skill in, Ability to: each is a paragraph with list-like items separated by line breaks? They are presented as bullet-like but not actual list markup. Could keep as
. Thus we can avoid creating list items and just use
for each section. We must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all paragraphs. Let's extract sections: About the role: combine mission statement and description? The mission statement is separate sentence before "Description". Could be considered "About the role". We'll include both. Thus:
About the role
Metro’s mission is to provide a world-class transportation system that enhances the quality of life for all who live, work, and play within LA County. Description This position manages the planning, design, and development of major high-visibility customer signage and environmental graphic design projects for the delivery of major capital projects and signage related start-up activities for new transit corridors, including bus and rail fleet and the construction of stations, facilities, and other projects to provide patrons with the information needed to navigate Metro's systems.
Note: The description includes "Description" word; we keep it as part of the paragraph. Recruitment Timelines: we might include as a short paragraph under maybe "About the role" or separate? Not a heading per allowed list. Could be omitted as not required. But we could include as a short paragraph under About the role? The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it. Recruitment Timelines is metadata about interview schedule; could be folded into a short
under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Recruitment Timeline" but not allowed heading. Safer to fold into a short
under About the role after description. Thus About the role paragraph will include mission, description, and recruitment timelines. Now Responsibilities: use the Examples of Duties paragraph.
Responsibilities
[the duties paragraph]
Now Qualifications: combine Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We need to include all details. Minimum Qualifications paragraph: "May be required to perform other related job duties Required A combination of education and/or experience that provides the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the essential functions of the position. Additional experience, as outlined below, may be substituted for required education on a year-for-year basis. A typical combination includes: Education Bachelor's Degree in Urban or Transportation Planning; Public Administration, Public Policy, Visual Communications, Industrial Design, Graphic Design, Environmental Graphic Design, Architecture, Urban Design, or a related field; Master's Degree in a related field preferred Experience Six years of relevant experience or three years of relevant supervisory-level experience in developing complex, highly visible environmental graphic design programs and products Certifications/Licenses/Special Requirements A valid California Class C Driver License or the ability to utilize an alternative method of transportation when needed to carry out job-related essential functions" We need to keep exactly as given. Preferred Qualifications paragraph: "Preferred Qualifications (PQs) are used to identify relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) as determined by business necessity. These criteria are considered preferred qualifications and are not intended to serve as minimum requirements for the position. PQs will help support selection decisions throughout the recruitment. In addition, applicants who possess these PQs will not automatically be selected. The Following Are The Preferred Qualifications Experience managing complex, high-visibility environmental graphic design programs and products for large-scale public transportation systems or similar environmentsExperience applying applicable local, state, and federal laws, rules, and regulations governing signage and environmental graphic designExperience supervising signage fabrication and installation processes, including the selection and use of materials, coatings, and hardwareExperience reviewing and applying information from architectural, engineering, and construction documents and drawingsExperience managing projects, budgets, schedules, and stakeholder engagement while ensuring alignment with organizational goals and signage and brand standards" Note there is missing spaces between sentences; we keep as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we don't have a clear list, we could keep as prose (
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to convert duties into list items. Similarly for qualifications (education, experience, certifications) maybe list. For skills (knowledge, skill, ability) also list.
We must preserve all substantive information: we cannot lose any detail. So we need to capture each duty sentence as a list item, preserving the exact wording.
