Materials Handler - Central Receiving and Distribution
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to decide which sections to include.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could contain job summary and location info? The "About Us" is about university, not role. But we could put "About the role" with job summary and location.
- Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities.
- Requirements: could include required qualifications (education, driver's license, experience). Could also include "Other Required Qualifications".
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? But we already have Required Qualifications; maybe we split: Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). However rules say we can use sections as needed; we can have both Requirements and Qualifications.
- Skills: list of skills/abilities.
- Benefits: not mentioned; we have "rich benefits" in About Us but not specific. Should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "Our university's vibrant culture, career opportunities, rich benefits, and values..." but not specific benefits. That's vague; we should not create Benefits section.
- Pay: not stated.
- Schedule: not stated.
Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information: location, job summary, responsibilities list, required qualifications (HS diploma, driver's license, 1 year experience), preferred qualifications (ability to operate equipment, undergraduate/advanced degree), abilities (drive KSU vehicles, understand instructions, use tools, wear PPE, handle multiple tasks), knowledge (maintenance processes, safety, policies), skills (interpersonal, initiative, teamwork, problem solving, organization, communication, MS Office, attention to detail, customer service, phone/email etiquette). Also USG Core Values maybe not needed as it's boilerplate? It's about university values but could be considered part of About the role? However it's more like generic values; but it's substantive? It's not specific to role; but it's part of posting. The instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/boilerplate. USG Core Values might be considered boilerplate? It's a statement of values; but it's not specific to role. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's not EEO. However it's still a generic statement. Safer to omit? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." USG Core Values is not exactly those categories, but could be considered legal? It's policy. Might be considered boilerplate. I'd lean to omit it to keep focused.
Other Information: includes driving requirement, travel 25%-49%, background check details, etc. That's substantive. Where to put? Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? It's about position specifics: driving required, travel %, background check, references, etc. Could be a section "Requirements" or maybe "Other Information". But we only have allowed headings; we could incorporate into Requirements (since they are requirements). Or we could create a section "Requirements" and include those details.
We need to preserve all substantive information, so we must include driving requirement, travel %, background check, references, etc.
Thus in Requirements we can list: High School diploma or equivalent; Current, valid and unrestricted driver's license; One (1) year related work experience; Must be able to drive KSU vehicles; Position requires travel 25%-49% of the time; Background check (Standard Enhanced MVR9 Panel Lab Drug Test) per USG policy; Applicants must include professional references; etc.
We also have "This is not a supervisory position. This position does not have any financial responsibilities. This role is considered a position of trust. This position does not require a purchasing card (P-Card). This position does not require security clearance." Those are also substantive; could be included in Requirements or maybe a separate section but we can put in Requirements.
We must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to keep them as is.
Now format.
We'll output:

We should ensure no duplicate content. Also ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO, USG Core Values, etc.
Check for any leftover: The "About Us" paragraph about university mission etc. We omitted that; is that substantive? It's about university, not role. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The "About Us" is substantive about the employer. Should we include it? Possibly yes, as it's about the employer. But we have no section for "About the employer". The allowed headings do not include "About Us". However we could put that content under "About the role" as part of description? But it's not about the role; it's about the university. The instruction says: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." It doesn't forbid adding other headings beyond the list? It says: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, but likely they expect only those headings. It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should stick to those. The "About Us" could be considered part of "About the role"? Might be okay to include a brief paragraph about the university under About the role. But we already have job summary; we could add a sentence about KSU being a large public institution etc. That is substantive about employer; we can include it in About the role.
Thus modify About the role paragraph to include both job summary and university description.
Let's craft:
Kennesaw State University is one of the 50 largest public institutions in the country, offering more than 190 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees to over 50,000 students. The university emphasizes academic excellence, innovative research, strong community partnerships, and economic opportunity.
