Let me analyze the job posting:
- Job title: Program Manager - Fire Safety and Compliance (should not repeat as heading)
- Entity: Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC - Univ)
- Worker Type: Employee, Classified
- Cost Center: CC002112 UNIV - COO - WPHS - Occupational Safety
- Pay Rate Type: Salary
- Pay Grade: University-GEN12
- Pay Range: 81,192.00 - 113,730.00 - 146,166.000
- Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40
- Work Shift: Day (United States of America)
The job description has percentages for different areas:
- 30% - Fire and Life Safety Compliance Program Management
- 30% - Fire and Life Safety Operations, Regulatory Compliance and Reporting
- 20% - Environment of Care and Life Safety Program Administration
- 15% - Leadership and Staff Development
- 5% - Other Duties as Assigned
Each has detailed bullet points.
Additional Job Description:
- Minimum Requirements: A bachelor's degree and four years relevant program experience.
- Physical Requirements: detailed list
- Then EEO boilerplate and E-Verify info (should remove)
I need to structure this into sections. The posting has clear sections: Responsibilities (the percentage breakdown), Requirements (Minimum Requirements), Physical Requirements, and Pay/Schedule info (Pay Range, Scheduled Weekly Hours, Work Shift). Also there's a summary paragraph at the top.
I should create:
- About the role (summary paragraph)
- Responsibilities (the detailed duties)
- Requirements (minimum requirements)
- Physical Requirements (the physical demands)
- Pay (since pay range is given)
- Schedule (since scheduled hours and shift are given)
Benefits not mentioned, so no Benefits section.
I'll fold metadata like Entity, Worker Type, Cost Center into a short
maybe in About the role or separate? The rules say fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. I'll include a brief metadata paragraph.
Now, I need to output HTML fragment with
headings and appropriate content.
Let me draft:
