Note: The text seems to have missing spaces/punctuation; we need to preserve content as is but maybe we can format nicely. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep the exact text? Probably we can keep as is but we can add punctuation for readability? Might be considered altering. Safer to keep the text exactly as given, but we can split into list items.

We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list should be
- each bullet.
Similarly Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications: these are lists.
Benefits: we have health insurance, tuition assistance, 401(k) match, ESPP, 10% discount, Track to the Trades. Also "competitive pay and flexible schedules" mentioned but not specific numbers. Since we should only include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections if posting actually states them. It mentions "competitive pay and flexible schedules" but not specific pay rate or schedule details. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "competitive pay and flexible schedules" which is a statement about pay and schedule, albeit vague. Should we include Pay and Schedule sections? The rule says: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them generically. However earlier: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "competitive pay" is somewhat vague but not placeholder like "varies". It's a statement. I'd say we can include Pay and Schedule sections with that content.
But we also have Benefits section with specific items.
We also have About Lowe's description (company overview). That could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading is for role description. We have "Your Impact at Lowe's" and "How We Support You" and "Your Day at Lowe's". Could combine into About the role? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings.
Thus:
- About the role: include the introductory paragraphs describing role impact, support, day-to-day. Could combine "Your Impact at Lowe's", "How We Support You", "Your Day at Lowe's". That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: list from "Key Responsibilities". Provide bullet list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Or Skills? The headings list includes Qualifications and Skills. We could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and maybe Skills under Skills? But we have no explicit skills list besides bilingual, certification, etc. Could treat Preferred Qualifications as Skills. However we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings. We could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and maybe Skills could be omitted if not distinct. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But headings are suggested; we can use them if we have content. We have both minimum and preferred qualifications; we could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed.
Benefits: list benefits.
Pay: include statement about competitive pay.
Schedule: include statement about flexible schedules.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, navigation, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove repeated "About Lowe’s" duplicated paragraphs (two similar but with slightly different numbers). We need to preserve ALL substantive information; but duplicated lines we should remove duplicates. The two About Lowe’s paragraphs are similar but not identical: first says FY2024 sales $83B, second says FY2025 sales $86B, also mentions 530 branches and 130 distribution centers. Both are substantive; we should keep both? They are duplicated in sense of same structure but different numbers; they are not exact duplicates. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Duplicated lines likely means exact duplicate lines. These are not exact duplicates, so we keep both? However they are very similar; but they contain different fiscal year info, so both are substantive. We'll keep both but maybe combine? Safer to keep both as separate paragraphs.
We also need to remove the link to benefits? The instruction: "For information about our benefit programs and eligibility, please visit https://talent.lowes.com/us/en/benefits." That's a reference; it's not boilerplate but it's a link. Should we keep? It's part of benefits description. Probably keep as part of benefits.
Now produce HTML.
