Fișa postului descrie atribuțiile și programul de lucru.

Fișa postului is the standard Romanian expression for job description.

• fișa = the sheet / the form / the record
• postului = of the position / of the job

So literally it is the sheet of the job/position.

Romanian often expresses this kind of relationship with the genitive case, where English would often use of or a noun-noun combination.
So fișa postului = the job’s sheet = the job description.

You may also hear fișă de post, especially in less formal or more explanatory contexts, but fișa postului is very common and idiomatic.

Postului is the genitive/dative singular definite form of post.

Breakdown:

• base noun: post = job / position
• definite singular: postul = the job / the position
• genitive/dative definite singular: postului = of the job / to the job

In this sentence, it is genitive:
fișa postului = the job’s description sheet / the description of the job.

This is a very common pattern in Romanian:

• ușa casei = the door of the house
• numele profesorului = the teacher’s name
• fișa postului = the job description

Because fișa is the definite singular form of fișă.

• fișă = a sheet / a form / a record
• fișa = the sheet / the form

Romanian usually attaches the definite article to the end of the noun, instead of putting a separate word like the in front.

So compare:

• fișă = a form
• fișa = the form

That is why Romanian learners often say Romanian has a postposed definite article.

Because the subject is singular: Fișa postului.

The verb descrie is the 3rd person singular present form of a descrie = to describe.

So:

• Fișa postului descrie... = The job description describes...

Even though there are two things being described—atribuțiile and programul de lucru—the verb agrees with the subject, not with the objects. The subject is singular, so the verb is singular.

Atribuțiile means the duties / the responsibilities.

Its base form is:

• atribuții = duties / responsibilities

The ending -le marks it as definite plural:

• atribuții = duties
• atribuțiile = the duties

So in the sentence, it refers to specific duties: the duties attached to that job.

This is another example of Romanian attaching the definite article to the noun.

Yes, very much so.

Programul de lucru is a common Romanian expression meaning:

• work schedule
• working hours
• sometimes work timetable

Breakdown:

• programul = the schedule / the program
• de lucru = literally of work / for work

Together, it means the schedule related to work.

You will see de lucru in many useful combinations:

• ore de lucru = working hours
• zi de lucru = workday
• spațiu de lucru = workspace

Because de + noun is very common in Romanian for making descriptive phrases.

Here, de lucru works a bit like work- or working in English:

• program de lucru = work schedule
• masă de bucătărie = kitchen table
• geantă de voiaj = travel bag

So de lucru is not showing possession. It is describing what kind of schedule it is.

By contrast, postului is genitive because it shows a relationship like of the job.

So in one sentence you get two different structures:

• fișa postului = genitive relationship
• programul de lucru = descriptive de phrase

Because the sentence is talking about the specific duties and the specific work schedule associated with that job.

• atribuțiile = the duties
• programul = the schedule

Romanian often uses the definite form when the things are understood as specific or institutionally defined. In an HR or administrative sentence like this, definiteness sounds natural.

If you made them indefinite, the meaning would become more general or less natural in this context.

The neutral word order is:

Subject + Verb + Object(s)

So:

• Fișa postului = subject
• descrie = verb
• atribuțiile și programul de lucru = direct objects

This is the most straightforward, standard order for a statement.

Romanian word order is more flexible than English, but this version sounds neutral and formal, which fits the administrative style of the sentence.

The most important ones are:

• ș = sh as in ship
• ț = ts as in cats
• ă = a short neutral vowel, like the a in sofa
• u in postului is pronounced, not silent

A rough English-style pronunciation of the whole sentence is:

FEE-sha POS-too-looy deh-SKREE-eh ah-tree-boo-TSEE-uh-leh shee pro-GRA-mool de LOOK-roo

A few notes:

• fișa → FEE-sha
• atribuțiile has several syllables; the ți part sounds like tsee
• și is pronounced shee

It is similar in meaning, but in this context post means job, position, or role, not a mail post or an online post.

So:

• post = job / position
• un post vacant = a vacant position
• a ocupa un post = to fill a position

In fișa postului, it clearly refers to an employment position.

Not very naturally.

A very literal translation would be:

The job’s sheet describes the duties and the work schedule.

That is understandable, but not idiomatic English. A more natural English rendering is:

• The job description describes the duties and work schedule.
• or better stylistically: The job description outlines the duties and work schedule.

That is useful to remember: Romanian and English may package administrative ideas differently, even when the grammar is completely normal in both languages.
