Gear Quotations Specialist
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: There's description of role: "Make a difference. The Gear Quotation Specialist supports Sales..." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Then responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet-like sentences). Could be under Responsibilities.
Requirements: maybe "What You Bring To The Table" includes experience, education, etc. Could be Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide.
We have "Shift and Hours: Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm" => Schedule.
"Compensation Details: The expected rate of pay for this position is $33.00 per hour" => Pay.
Benefits: The Value Of Graybar section lists benefits. So Benefits.
Skills: maybe not explicit separate; could be included in Requirements. But we could still have Skills if we have content. The posting mentions "Demonstrated business acumen with strong interpersonal and customer service skills." That's a skill. Also ability to work independently, etc. Could be Skills.
We need to avoid filler sections. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Ensure each has substantive content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove "Apply now and find out what’s next for you." and the EEO statement, and the "Why should you join Graybar?" paragraph? That's more about company culture; maybe it's not boilerplate but could be considered fluff. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Why should you join Graybar?" is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered promotional; but it's substantive? It's about company values. Might be okay to keep? However, they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include under Benefits? Not exactly. Might be considered fluff. Safer to omit that paragraph as it's not directly about role, responsibilities, requirements, etc. Also the "Equal Opportunity Employer/Vet/Disabled" line is boilerplate; remove. Also the "Not the right fit? Let us know..." is application instructions; remove.
Thus we keep: opening paragraph about role, responsibilities list, qualifications/experience, shift/hours, pay, benefits.
We need to parse details.
Let's extract:
Opening: "Make a difference. The Gear Quotation Specialist supports Sales, Customer Service, and Operations teams by developing accurate, compliant, and competitive quotations for electrical gear and related solutions. This role plays a critical part in driving profitable revenue while minimizing commercial and technical risk to the company. The Specialist supports branch and district sales strategies through timely, detailed, and well-documented responses to both internal and external customers."
That's about the role.
Responsibilities: list of bullet-like sentences after "In This Role You Will". Actually the posting says: "In This Role You Will Prepare detailed and accurate cost estimates for low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) electrical gear, assemblies, and related materials requested by Sales, Customer Service, and project teams.Read, interpret, and analyze single-line electrical drawings, schematics, and layouts to accurately identify required LV and MV electrical equipment, ratings, configurations, and accessories.Review and interpret customer specifications, project requirements, and contract documents to ensure quotations are compliant with technical, commercial, and customer-specific standards.Compile, review, and organize bills of material (BOMs), drawings, and specifications using in-depth knowledge of manufactured products, engineered solutions, and available services.Identify scope gaps, conflicts, or ambiguities between single-line drawings, specifications, and BOMs; proactively communicate clarification needs to Sales or customers.Evaluate and compare competing manufacturers’ BOMs, configurations, and technical offerings to determine the most appropriate and cost-effective solution aligned with customer and specification requirements.Support pre-submittals, submittals, resubmittals, and revisions, ensuring alignment with customer specifications and drawing intent prior to release.Identify and itemize accessories, control options, and third-party equipment sourced externally as part of the quotation.Contact manufacturers, factories, and authorized representatives to obtain pricing, lead times, technical clarifications, and compliance confirmations related to specifications and drawings.Compute cost and sell pricing using multiple factors including margins, inventory availability, competitive environment, price validity, logistics, freight, handling, staging, and abnormal shipping requirements.Identify and communicate technical and commercial risks related to equipment selection, specification compliance, lead times, or scope assumptions.Ensure all quotations, customer approvals, and acknowledgments are properly documented to reduce liability and support audit and order execution requirements.Maintain accurate digital job files, including drawings, specifications, correspondence, and pricing assumptions, to support smooth handoff to Order Management and Operations."
We need to split into list items. Each sentence separated by a period but there is no spacing. We'll separate logically.
We'll create
- for each duty.
Now Requirements/Qualifications: "What You Bring To The Table Minimum of 3 years of related experience in switchgear or electrical distribution quotations, estimating, pricing, or technical sales support.Demonstrated business acumen with strong interpersonal and customer service skills.High school diploma or GED required.4–5 years of experience quoting electrical low voltage gear, switchgear, or engineered electrical solutions within the electrical distribution or manufacturing industry preferred.Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while managing multiple priorities preferred.Four-year degree in Business, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field preferred."
We could split into Requirements (experience, education) and Qualifications (preferred). But we can combine.
We need to use

We also have Skills: maybe "Demonstrated business acumen with strong interpersonal and customer service skills." and "Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while managing multiple priorities". Could be Skills.
But we could also put those under Requirements. However we need to decide sections.
