Portuguese term or phrase: preencher
A tradução do verbo "preencher" nesta frase (entre colchetes) é "to fill" ou, nesse caso, seria melhor "to complete".
Outra coisa: posso usar apenas a forma simples do verbo ou tenho q usar o "to".

"O empregado é contratado para exercer as funções inerentes ao cargo de [PREENCHER], estando de acordo, todavia, com suas eventuais designações posteriores para exercer as funções de quaisquer outros cargos, compatíveis com a sua qualificação profissional, caso tais designações venham a se tornar necessárias."

Desde já, obrigada.

Feliz 2011!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Desculpe, mas não tem a ver com ocupar ou preencher um cargo, uma vaga e sim com o próprio espaço entre colchetes no texto, que deverá ser preenchido com o nome da função que a pessoa irá exercer na empresa. Esse cargo deverá ser escrito no espaço do texto em que aparece a palavra "preencher". Em todo caso, obrigada.

neutral  Jana Zajicova: I am afraid you misunderstood the source text. The meaning of PREENCHER here is TO BE COMPLETED (i.e. the word PREENCHER should be replaced with the name of the position.

to be filled out


Explanation:
To be filled out = trata-se de uma instrução orientando a pessoa que tal espaço deve ser preenchido com a posição a ser ocupada pelo empregado.

Não importa o tamanho do espaço, a expressão é sempre a mesma, ou seja, to fill out (a space).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Acho que essa expressão seria mais usada em um contexto maior: no caso de como ou quando preencher um determinado formulário, tabela etc. (ou espaço mesmo) e/ou quem deve preencher. Há também um emprego absoluto, mas aí tem a ver com um contexto mais amplo. Exs.: To be filled out by the employee; to be filled out online; to be filled out monthly; to be filled out and returned (with something; to somebody etc.) No meu caso, é apenas o espacinho entre colchetes que é para preencher, não importa como nem quando nem por quem: refere-se apenas à ação de preencher. Mas sua solução é boa e vai servir para outra ocasião. Obrigada.

position applied for


Explanation:
also: job applied for:
This would be what the employer wants. By stating the position applied for the employer and employee agree to the rest of the contract. ''Yes you applied to be a barman but the contract states that... if there is some cleaning or cooking to do that this is part of your duties'', just as an example.
