Non-Licensed Optician
for sections: About the role (maybe Position Summary?), Responsibilities (Job Duties), Requirements (maybe none), Qualifications (maybe none), Skills (maybe none), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Position Summary (a paragraph). Job Duties (list). Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance, health care reimbursement account, dependent care assistance plan, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, AD&D insurance, life insurance, 401(k), stock purchase plan to eligible employees." That's specific benefits. Pay: "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." That's not specific; it's a link to more info, not actual pay range. So we should NOT include Pay section because no actual pay info. Schedule: Not mentioned. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: Not explicit; maybe "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." That's a skill? Could be considered a requirement. But we need to see if there is any explicit requirement like "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." That's a skill/ability. Also "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." That's schedule requirement (open availability). That could be schedule? It's about availability. But schedule section is for schedule details like shifts, hours. Not given. Could treat open availability as a requirement. However we need to decide.
We have Position Summary paragraph. Job Duties list. Benefits list. Possibly Skills: "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Also maybe "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Could be a skill. Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." That's one.
Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Not needed.
Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Already.
Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Enough.
Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Ok.
Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Stop.
Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." Enough.
Also "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery." I'm stuck.
Let's extract specifics:
- Position Summary: "Assists members in choosing and ordering eyeglasses, uses computer to process orders, fits eyeglasses, and dispenses eyeglasses and contacts under the supervision of a Licensed Optician. Follows department procedures for stocking and cleaning. Provides a high level of member service."
- Job Duties: list of many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to convert to - . Each duty is a sentence. We'll split by periods? The text: "Assists members in choosing eyeglass frames and lens options appropriate to the lens prescription, under supervision of a Licensed Optician. Measures member for pupillary distance using pupilometer and observes line of sight to determine bifocal placement, under the supervision of a Licensed Optician.Keys members order into computers and places special orders to outside vendors by telephone, under the supervision of a Licensed Optician.Rings up orders and over-the-counter merchandise. Receives accurate payment, makes change, processes checks, credit, and debit charges according to proper procedures for paperwork, cash handling, and performance of duties.Checks contact lenses and completed eyeglasses against prescription under the supervision of a Licensed Optician, prior to dispensing to members. Fits and adjusts eyeglasses to members using hand tools and frame warmer and bending with fingers.Orders equipment, merchandise, and supplies by keying into the computer. Keys receipt of special orders from outside vendors. Follows safety and security procedures.Stocks merchandise and supplies.

Empties trash, operates trash compactor and cardboard baler.Ensures proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous materials.Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery.Assists with department duties as necessary.Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary."
We need to split into separate items. Some sentences missing spaces after periods (e.g., "...Optician.Keys members..."). We'll treat each sentence as separate.
Let's manually list:
1. Assists members in choosing eyeglass frames and lens options appropriate to the lens prescription, under supervision of a Licensed Optician.
2. Measures member for pupillary distance using pupilometer and observes line of sight to determine bifocal placement, under the supervision of a Licensed Optician.
3. Keys members order into computers and places special orders to outside vendors by telephone, under the supervision of a Licensed Optician.
4. Rings up orders and over-the-counter merchandise.
5. Receives accurate payment, makes change, processes checks, credit, and debit charges according to proper procedures for paperwork, cash handling, and performance of duties.
6. Checks contact lenses and completed eyeglasses against prescription under the supervision of a Licensed Optician, prior to dispensing to members.
7. Fits and adjusts eyeglasses to members using hand tools and frame warmer and bending with fingers.
8. Orders equipment, merchandise, and supplies by keying into the computer.
9. Keys receipt of special orders from outside vendors.
10. Follows safety and security procedures.
11. Stocks merchandise and supplies.
12. Follows department procedures and standards for production, record keeping, merchandising, and product storage.
13. Cleans department by spraying, wiping, and mopping.
14. Empties trash, operates trash compactor and cardboard baler.
15. Ensures proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous materials.
16. Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery.
17. Assists with department duties as necessary.
18. Assists in other departments of the warehouse as necessary.
Now Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance, health care reimbursement account, dependent care assistance plan, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance, AD&D insurance, life insurance, 401(k), stock purchase plan to eligible employees."
We can list as
- each benefit? Could be one paragraph but rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list benefits as list items.
Benefits items:
- paid time off
- health benefits - medical/dental/vision/hearing aid/pharmacy/behavioral health/employee assistance
- health care reimbursement account
- dependent care assistance plan
- short-term disability and long-term disability insurance
- AD&D insurance
- life insurance
- 401(k)
- stock purchase plan to eligible employees
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: Not explicit besides ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery (already in duties). Also "Apart from any religious or disability considerations, open availability is needed to meet the needs of the business." That's a requirement about availability. Could be a requirement. Also "If hired, you will be required to provide proof of authorization to work in the United States." That's a requirement. Also maybe "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." Not a requirement.
Thus we could have a Requirements section with items:
- Open availability (apart from religious or disability considerations)
- Proof of authorization to work in the United States (if hired)
But also maybe "Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery" is a skill; but it's already in duties. Could still be a skill. However we already have it in duties; we could still include in Skills if we want but risk duplication. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we include it in duties, it's already there; we could also list in Skills but that would be duplication but not invented. It's okay to duplicate? Probably better to avoid duplication but not required. However we need to decide sections.
We have Position Summary (About the role). Job Duties (Responsibilities). Benefits. Possibly Requirements (open availability, work authorization). Could also have Skills (Ability to operate vehicles, equipment or machinery). But we already have that in duties; but it's still substantive. Might be okay to include in Skills as well, but might be considered redundant. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Skills into one section? But we need headings for each section type. If we have both Requirements and Skills, that's two sections. Could be okay if each has content.
Let's see if there is any explicit skill besides ability to operate vehicles. Not much.
Thus we could have:
About the role
Position Summary paragraph.
Responsibilities
- ... each duty
Requirements
- Open availability (apart from religious or disability considerations)
- Proof of authorization to work in the United States (if hired)
Benefits
- ... each benefit
We should not include Pay or Schedule as no specific content.
Check for any other specifics: "Job Code: 0016" and "Job Description Posting Updated: July 2026" are metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. Could include a short paragraph at end: "Job Code: 0016. Posting updated July 2026." But instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can add a
with that info.
Also "California applicants: Please click here to review the Costco Applicant Privacy Notice." That's boilerplate? It's a notice but maybe not boilerplate; it's a link. It's not substantive job info; could be considered boilerplate? It's a legal notice. Probably drop.
Also "The jobs listed are examples of the typical kinds of positions that Costco may hire for when openings exist. The listing does not mean that any positions are currently open or available at Costco." That's boilerplate; drop.
Also "For additional information about pay ranges, click here." Already considered not specific; we could drop.
Thus final HTML:
