Technician, Wood & Metal
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID etc. Preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, navigation, cookie, application instructions). Include a section only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range: $28.52 per hour/$51,906.40 per annum. So we can have Pay section. Schedule? Not explicit schedule beyond "Flexible schedule - ability to work non-traditional schedules that may include nights and weekends, in addition to schedule shifts with semester changes." That's schedule info. So we can have Schedule section. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with details. So include Benefits.
We need sections: About the role (maybe Position/Role Overview). Responsibilities (Core Capabilities, Primary Duties, And Responsibilities). Qualifications (Qualifications). Skills? Could be part of Qualifications but we could separate Skills if present. The posting includes many skill-like items; but we can put them under Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for sections e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with content. Likely we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills if we separate. But we can embed skill details in Qualifications. Safer to follow headings exactly as they appear in posting: "Position/Role Overview" could map to About the role. "Core Capabilities, Primary Duties, And Responsibilities" -> Responsibilities. "Qualifications" -> Qualifications. "Benefits" -> Benefits. "SALARY RANGE" -> Pay. "WORK MODE" maybe not a heading but could be Schedule? Actually schedule info is in Qualifications: "Flexible schedule - ability to work non-traditional schedules...". Could put under Schedule. We'll create Schedule section with that info.
We must not repeat job title. No markdown fences. Just raw HTML.
We need to use
for each section heading. Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
About the role: from "Position/Role Overview Parsons, Mannes, Jazz, and Drama, a division of The New School, seeks a Full-time Technician in Wood and Metal for the Making Center. Parsons Making Center is a collection of more than 70,000 sq. ft. of labs, shops, studios, and open workspaces that provide curricular support for making across a broad range of mediums and disciplines, supporting experimentation and interdisciplinary collaboration.

We'll put that as prose in
.

We have duplicates; we should preserve all substantive info but can we deduplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicates are substantive? They are repeated; we could keep both but that seems redundant. Might be okay to keep as is but could be considered summarizing away detail if we remove duplicates? Safer to keep them as they appear; but we can keep duplicates as separate list items; it's still preserving info. We'll keep them.

Benefits: from "WHY JOIN US?" and "Benefits At The New School". Actually "WHY JOIN US?" is more like a motivational paragraph; but we have Benefits section with details.
We need to capture Benefits: "Highlights include: Health & Wellness Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverageEmployee Assistance Program (EAP) Financial Wellness Retirement plan administered by TIAAQualified Transportation Expense Plan Work-Life Balance Paid vacation and sick leave, with accruals starting on your first dayPaid holidays and floating holidaysWorkmode & Telework Policy (if applicable) Professional Growth Career advancement and professional development opportunitiesAccess to university programs, lectures, and events featuring world-renowned speakers and organizationsTuition waiver benefit for eligible employees and dependents Additional Perks Employee discounts with local vendors and service providers"

Schedule: from "Flexible schedule - ability to work non-traditional schedules that may include nights and weekends, in addition to schedule shifts with semester changes." Also "WORK MODE This position is primarily in-person and is based on campus to support effective in-person collaboration and engagement. Hybrid work arrangements may be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the nature of the role and operational needs. Any such arrangement must be discussed and approved in advance by the appropriate division lead or their designee." That's schedule/work mode. We'll include both.
We'll create Schedule section with prose covering flexible schedule and work mode.
