Performs all duties safely, accurately and meets set productivity goals. Shift Monday through Friday 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM" We could put summary in About the role

    . The shift line could go to Schedule section. Essential Duties And Responsibilities: a long paragraph with many duties separated by periods. We need to split into list items. Each sentence seems a duty. We'll need to break them into separate
