Account Manager - Construction
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Application Deadline: October 1, 2026 Please note that the position may be filled before or after the listed application deadline. Applications will only be accepted while the posting remains active." That's application instructions; remove. Also remove "Border States is 100% employee-owned, which means you’re empowered to make decisions, find solutions and receive rewards for your hard work." That's part of about the role maybe. Also "Be part of a growing, successful company in an exciting and challenging field." That's about the role.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse content.
Original posting:
- Intro: "Be part of a growing, successful company in an exciting and challenging field. Border States is 100% employee-owned, which means you’re empowered to make decisions, find solutions and receive rewards for your hard work. This position will be located in: Billings, MT Application Deadline: October 1, 2026 Please note that the position may be filled before or after the listed application deadline. Applications will only be accepted while the posting remains active."
We need to keep location (Billings, MT). Probably part of About the role? Could be a short paragraph.
- Job Summary: "The Account Manager will manage assigned customer account relationships and focuses on opportunity prospects and accounts. Promotes Border States’ products, services and capabilities to maximize customer sales potential. Regularly calls on assigned accounts, develops new accounts, inputs cost savings documentation, coordinates sales strategies with preferred vendors, actively manages and directs company sales and support resources, and provides input to the pricing and purchasing departments on competitive issues related to price, margin strategy product evaluations, inventory requirements and other related sales, marketing and service functions."
That's job summary; could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Usually Job Summary is separate but we only have headings list; we can put under About the role.
- Responsibilities: includes "Essential Functions" list and "Non-essential Functions". We need to extract list items for responsibilities. Use - . Should we separate essential vs non-essential? Probably combine all responsibilities into one list.
- Qualifications: "4 years business, sales, marketing or trade degree or the equivalent in related work experience. 2 years of prior distribution, customer service, marketing, quotation or sales experience preferred. Experience with contract negotiation.Experience with presenting in front of a large group.Ability to read, write and speak in English required. Prefer strong working knowledge of PC for Windows, Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Access, and PowerPoint), Internet, Email and SAP software."
- Skills And Abilities: list of abilities: "Consistently provides responsive, quality service to meet and exceed customer expectations. Technical competence in understanding piping systems (PVF) or electrical systems as required.Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.Ability to effectively plan and organize. Excellent customer service skills include being competent, accurate, responsive, and engaged."
- Physical Requirements: a table of frequencies; we need to preserve all substantive info. This is detailed; we could format as
- but it's a table. Could present as
- each line? Might be okay. We need to decide if we include a section for Physical Requirements? Not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are only those listed. Physical Requirements not in list, so we should not create a heading for it. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop it. However instructions: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should only use those headings? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect we use those headings only. Physical Requirements may be considered part of Qualifications or Skills? Could be placed under Qualifications? But it's not typical. However we must preserve all substantive info; we could embed physical requirements inside a
under Qualifications or Skills? Might be okay if we put under Qualifications as additional detail. But Qualifications heading is for qualifications; physical requirements are not qualifications but could be considered part of Requirements? There's a "Requirements" heading in list; we could put physical requirements under Requirements. That seems appropriate: Requirements heading can include physical requirements. So we will have a Requirements section containing the physical requirements details.
- Additional Information: includes job description summary, etc. Might be boilerplate; we can drop if not substantive. It says "This job description is a summary..." maybe not needed. Also "Our History", "Values", "Your career", "Benefits", etc. Benefits section we have list of benefits; we should include Benefits heading with that list.
- Pay: Not mentioned; no pay info. So we should not include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned; no schedule info. So omit.
- Also there is "Equal Opportunity For All", "Drug Free/Smoke Free workplace", etc. Those are boilerplate; remove.
- Also "Border States provides bonuses to their employee-owners upon the achievement of branch and company goals." That's part of benefits maybe; include in Benefits.
Now we need to produce HTML fragment with headings
for each section we include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills And Abilities (maybe Skills), Benefits.
We must not repeat job title. No extra headings.
We need to preserve all substantive info: location, job summary, responsibilities (essential and non-essential), qualifications, skills, physical requirements, benefits (including bonuses, etc). Also maybe include "Our History" etc? That's company info; could be considered About the role? Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about company. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Our History is not those; it's company background. Might be considered part of About the role. We could include a brief paragraph about company under About the role. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep it as is.
Let's extract sections:
