We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. We removed EEO, scam warnings, etc. Also removed duplicated "Why work for Cornerstone Building Brands?" content; we kept benefits but not the duplicated paragraph. Check if any content missing: we didn't include "Working Conditions" specifics: "Warehouse environment with exposure to equipment noise, temperature extremes, and dust; Position requires continual lifting, twisting and bending". Should we include that? It's substantive. Could be part of Qualifications or Requirements. Let's add a bullet under Qualifications or maybe a separate "Working Conditions" but not in headings list. Since we have Qualifications, we can add those details there. Add bullet: "Work in a warehouse environment with exposure to equipment noise, temperature extremes, and dust; continual lifting, twisting and bending required." Also we didn't include "Safety: Safe work performance is required from each Associate at all times; Perform all duties and responsibilities in a safe manner in accordance with applicable Health and Safety Manuals; Required to wear or use personal protective equipment as applicable and to immediately report unsafe working conditions". That's also substantive. Could be under Qualifications or Skills. Let's add bullet under Qualifications: "Commitment to safe work performance; use of personal protective equipment as required; immediate reporting of unsafe conditions." Also we missed "Must be at least 18 years of age to apply." That's a requirement; could be under Requirements. Add bullet: "Must be at least 18 years of age." Also "Note to External Recruiters..." etc is boilerplate; remove. Now incorporate. Let's adjust sections. Requirements: include experience, knowledge, age. Qualifications: include mental/physical/visual demands, working conditions, equipment/tools, safety. Skills: maybe just proficiency with tools? But we already have equipment/tools under Qualifications. Could move tool proficiency to Skills. Let's keep Skills as tool proficiency and safety gear usage. Thus: Requirements bullet list: - No experience necessary; mechanical aptitude helpful. - Basic knowledge of shipping process helpful. - Must be at least 18 years of age. Qualifications bullet list: - Good eye/hand coordination and excellent manual dexterity, including skill to use hand and electrical tools. - Ability to read and comprehend numbers. - Ability to lift up to 86 pounds on a continual basis above shoulder height and below the waist; lift 87 to 100 lbs with assistance. - Detail‑oriented with good communication skills and ability to interact well with others. - Ability to separate product by profiling color. - Work in a warehouse environment with exposure to equipment noise, temperature extremes, and dust; continual lifting, twisting and bending required. - Commitment to safe work performance; use of personal protective equipment as required; immediate reporting of unsafe conditions. - Willing to obtain a license to operate motorized equipment; if applicable, may need certification to operate a crane.
