We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe intro). Responsibilities: list under "What You Will Do". Requirements: maybe "What You Will Bring". Qualifications: maybe "Physical Requirements And Work Environment". Skills: maybe "Experience with Microsoft Office/Excel/Word" etc. Benefits: "What We Offer You". Pay: not mentioned.

We need to preserve all substantive info. So include all bullet points.
We need to format lists with - . Prose with
. Use
for each section heading.
We must not include navigation/legal/EEO etc. So remove the Equal Employment Opportunity Statement, Pay Transparency etc. Also remove "Learn More About Us" social links? Those are maybe not substantive? They are maybe optional but they are not core job description. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Learn More About Us" with social links maybe considered navigation? It's not boilerplate but maybe considered promotional. However they are not essential job details. Might be considered navigation? Safer to remove them as they are not core job description. Also remove the YouTube link earlier? The intro includes a YouTube link to learn more about being a Counter Sales Associate. That's maybe application instruction? It's a link to learn more about the role. Might be considered optional but it's substantive? It's a link to a video about the role. Could be considered extra but not required. The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly application instruction but a link to learn more. Might be considered navigation. Safer to remove it? However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The link is not substantive info about the job; it's just a resource. I'd remove it.
Also remove "Learn more at https://www.northcoast.com/about" and Sonepar link.
Thus final HTML will have sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe combine What You Will Bring and Physical Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe none?), Skills (maybe list of skills), Benefits (list), Schedule (paragraph). We need to decide which headings to use.
We have content for:
- About the role: introductory paragraph describing company and role.
- Responsibilities: bullet list under "What You Will Do".
- Requirements: maybe "What You Will Bring" includes personal vision, sales experience, communication skills, problem solver, attitude, Office proficiency, Solar Eclipse preferred. Also "Additional Requirements": work authorization, background check etc. Those are requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe not separate; could combine with Requirements. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can omit Qualifications if no specific qualifications beyond requirements. But we have "Physical Requirements And Work Environment" which could be under Requirements or Qualifications. Could treat as Qualifications? Usually qualifications include education, experience, certifications. Physical requirements could be under Requirements. We'll decide.
- Skills: list of specific skills: Microsoft Office/Excel/Word, Solar Eclipse preferred, maybe communication, problem solving.
- Benefits: list under "What We Offer You".
- Schedule: paragraph about work week.
We must not create Pay section.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's extract.
Intro paragraph (About the role): combine first paragraph(s) up to the YouTube link? We'll include the descriptive paragraph about North Coast, its mission, location, Sonepar group, supportive culture, benefits, career growth. That's substantive.
Responsibilities: bullet list:
- Counter Sales for Contractor, Industrial & OEM Market
- Quotations, order entry, tracking and proactive Customer Service
- Counter and other sales/support duties as directed
- Establish and maintain strong working relationships with key vendors
- Commit to proactive and team approach to sales
- Identify and pursue gross margin and market share growth opportunities
- Promote heavily the DOTP (Deliver on the Promise) CSG’s (Customer Service Guarantees) for increased share
- Relationship building with Will Call customers
- Daily merchandising display maintenance
- Helping warehouse as needed (wire cuts, filling orders, loading delivery truck)
- Other duties as assigned
We need to keep exactly as given.
Requirements: combine "What You Will Bring" and "Additional Requirements" and maybe Physical Requirements.
What You Will Bring bullet list (not explicitly bullet but sentences separated by line breaks). Let's list:
- Possess a personal and professional vision of success in teamwork
- Previous sales experience and product knowledge in the electrical field is preferred
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Self-motivated problem solver in a team environment
- Positive attitude, willingness and desire to improve skill level
- Experience with Microsoft Office/Excel/Word
- Proficiency in Solar Eclipse is preferred
Additional Requirements:
- Must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship.
- Any offer of employment is contingent upon the successful completion of all applicable pre-employment requirements, which may include a background check, drug screening, credit check, and motor vehicle record review, as permitted by law and required for the position.
Physical Requirements And Work Environment:
- Continuous phone and computer usage
- Standing and Lifting (Up to 50lbs)
- Wire cutting
- Help loading delivery truck
- Usual 40-hour work-week Monday through Friday, however, based on business needs evening and weekend hours may occasionally be required.
- Requires regular and reliable on-site attendance
We could put Physical Requirements under Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have a Qualifications heading, maybe put physical requirements there. But we also have Skills heading for specific skills like Office, Solar Eclipse.
Let's decide:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: bullet list as above.
- Requirements: combine What You Will Bring (experience, skills, attitude) plus Additional Requirements (work auth, background check). Could also include "Previous sales experience..." etc.
- Qualifications: maybe Physical Requirements And Work Environment (physical demands, schedule). But schedule also separate heading. However schedule info is within that paragraph. We could separate schedule: "Usual 40-hour work-week..." as schedule section. Then Qualifications could be physical requirements (continuous phone/computer usage, standing/lifting, wire cutting, help loading truck, regular on-site attendance). That seems plausible.
- Skills: list of specific technical skills: Experience with Microsoft Office/Excel/Word, Proficiency in Solar Eclipse preferred, maybe also communication skills? But communication skills already in Requirements. We'll keep Skills as technical proficiencies.
- Benefits: list under What We Offer You.
- Schedule: paragraph about work week (maybe we already used schedule info in Qualifications? Better to move schedule to its own section). So we need to extract schedule sentence: "Usual 40-hour work-week Monday through Friday, however, based on business needs evening and weekend hours may occasionally be required." Also "Requires regular and reliable on-site attendance" could be part of schedule or requirements. We'll keep on-site attendance under Requirements maybe.
Thus:
Schedule:
Usual 40-hour work-week Monday through Friday, however, based on business needs evening and weekend hours may occasionally be required.
Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's list all content and assign.

Schedule: as above.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings and - for lists, <
. Use
for each section heading. We must not include navigation/legal/EEO etc. So remove the Equal Employment Opportunity Statement, Pay Transparency etc. Also remove "Learn More About Us" social links? Those are maybe not substantive? They are maybe optional but they are not core job description.
