Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc. Also remove navigation/legal etc. Also remove duplicated lines.

Then "WHO IS 84?" description: "84 Lumber is the nation’s largest privately held supplier of building materials, manufactured components and industry-leading services for residential and commercial construction. With over 320 facilities in 34 states and plans for even more locations, your opportunities for growth within the company are endless. If you invest in yourself, we will invest in you! At 84 Lumber, we promote nearly 100% from within, creating a unique environment where you can build your own career path. Over 96% of our store managers began as Manager Trainees, and on average, you can earn your first promotion within six months."
Then "COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS PACKAGE:" list.
Then "RECOGNITION & AWARDS:" list.
Then description of Contractor Sales Representative role: "The Contractor Sales Representative (“CSR”) will customarily and regularly sell products and services offered by 84 Lumber to current and new clientele away from the 84 Lumber store locations. This position is responsible for creating positive customer relationships. The Contractor Sales Representative is building a book of business to become an Outside Sales Representative. Other duties may be assigned by Store Manager."
Then "Responsibilities" bullet list.
Then "Qualifications" bullet list.
Then there is EEO statement etc to remove.
Also there is "Reading prints. Creating material estimates. Sourcing special orders." duplicates.
We need sections: About the role (maybe overview + WHO IS 84?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Pay: salary $50k with sales incentives. So we can include Pay section.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should NOT include Schedule section because no real specific content.
Benefits: we have comprehensive benefits package list.
Skills: maybe from qualifications we can extract skills? But we have Qualifications section already. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Qualifications and Skills if content distinct. But we can combine? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they gave both as possible headings. We need to decide based on content. The posting has "Qualifications" bullet list that includes skills like interpersonal, organizational, analytical, etc. Also there is "Create and continually grow book of business and acquire new customers. Create material estimates/read blueprints. Source special order material. Respond to common inquiries or complaints from customers." Those are duties/qualifications. So we could have a Qualifications section covering those. Skills maybe not separate.
We also have "About the role" could include overview and WHO IS 84 description plus role description.
Responsibilities: bullet list.
Benefits: list.
Pay: salary $50k with sales incentives.
We should not include Recognition & Awards? That's not a standard heading; but we could include under About the role maybe as extra info. But we should preserve all substantive information. The recognition awards are substantive; we could include them in About the role section as a paragraph.
We must not include EEO etc.
We must not include application instructions.
We must not include duplicated lines.
Let's extract:
About the role:
- Overview paragraph: "Are you ready to build a rewarding and lifelong career? Do you thrive in a team environment that challenges you to be your best? Join 84 Lumber, a family-owned company founded on growth, stability, and the mindset that “nothing is impossible.” This position will be paid a salary role of $50k with sales incentives to factor in as well. 84 Lumber is hiring immediately and has the perfect career opportunity for you!"
- WHO IS 84? description: "84 Lumber is the nation’s largest privately held supplier of building materials, manufactured components and industry-leading services for residential and commercial construction.

This position is responsible for creating positive customer relationships. The Contractor Sales Representative is building a book of business to become an Outside Sales Representative. Other duties may be assigned by Store Manager."
- Recognition & Awards: list: "Most Patriotic Companies by Newsweek, 2026; Most Trustworthy Companies by Newsweek, 2026; Largest Family Businesses by Forbes, 2026; Top Private Companies by Forbes, 2025; Best Large Employers by Forbes, 2025."
We could combine into About the role section.
Responsibilities bullet list:
- Builds and maintains a network of sources from which to identify new sales leads.
- Communicates with customers and leads to identify and understand their product or service needs; identifies and suggests products and services to meet those needs.
- Demonstrates the functions and utility of products or services to customers based on their needs.
- Ensures customer satisfaction through ongoing communication and relationship management; resolves any issues that may arise post-sale.
- Maintains communication with existing and previous customers, alerting them of new products, services, and enhancements that may be of interest.
- Maintains detailed reports of sales activities including calls, orders, sales, lost business, and any customer or vendor relationship problems.
Qualifications bullet list (maybe combine with Skills):
- Create and continually grow book of business and acquire new customers.
- Create material estimates/read blueprints.
- Source special order material.
- Respond to common inquiries or complaints from customers.
- Excellent interpersonal and customer service skills.
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to function in a high-paced and sometimes stressful environment.
- Reading prints.
- Creating material estimates.
- Sourcing special orders.
Note duplicates: "Create material estimates/read blueprints." and later "Creating material estimates." and "Reading prints." and "Sourcing special orders." duplicates. We should preserve all substantive information but avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't explicitly say to deduplicate, but later says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate the qualifications list.
Let's list unique items:
- Create and continually grow book of business and acquire new customers.
- Create material estimates/read blueprints.
- Source special order material.
- Respond to common inquiries or complaints from customers.
- Excellent interpersonal and customer service skills.
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to function in a high-paced and sometimes stressful environment.
- Reading prints.
- Creating material estimates.
- Sourcing special orders.
But "Create material estimates/read blueprints." vs "Creating material estimates." and "Reading prints." and "Sourcing special orders." are somewhat overlapping. However they are separate lines; maybe they intend to keep them. But duplicated lines: "Create material estimates/read blueprints." and "Creating material estimates." are not exact duplicates but similar. The instruction says remove duplicated lines (exact duplicates). So we keep them as they are not exact duplicates. However "Sourcing special order material." vs "Sourcing special orders." not exact duplicate. So keep.
Thus qualifications list as given.
Benefits list:
- Monthly performance incentives (both store and personal-level bonus potential)
- Paid Time Off (PTO), sick and personal days
