R&D Shop Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. 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. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to extract substantive content: company description (About Mesa Power Solutions) maybe not a required heading but we could include as a paragraph. The headings we can use: About the role (maybe Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties), Qualifications (Education Required, Experience Required, Preferred, Certifications, Licenses & Registrations Required), Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities (maybe Skills), Benefits (What We Offer), maybe Pay? Not given specific pay amount, just "Competitive base pay". That is vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Competitive base pay" which is not a specific number; but it's still stating pay exists. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive base pay". That is a statement about pay, albeit vague. Should we include Pay section? It says "Competitive base pay". That's a statement about pay. It's not filler like "commensurate with experience". It's a specific phrase. I'd include a Pay section with that sentence. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Benefits and Pay? But they gave separate headings list. We could include Benefits section with the list of benefits, and maybe Pay as a short paragraph inside Benefits? But they said use heading for Benefits. We'll include Benefits heading with the list. Pay heading maybe not needed if we can incorporate into Benefits? But they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state base pay, so we could include Pay section with that line. However we might avoid thin Pay section; but it's just one line. Could combine Pay and Benefits under a single "Compensation and Benefits" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid combining but suggests using those headings. I'd create separate Pay and Benefits sections.
Schedule: not mentioned besides occasional evenings and weekends, flexible hours. That's schedule info. Could create Schedule section with that. It says "Willingness to work flexible hours including occasional evenings and weekends as required." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (like "Establish shop priorities and allocate personnel, equipment, and resources to meet project milestones and deadlines, proactively identifying and addressing any issues or risks." appears twice? Actually appears twice with slight variation: one says "Establish shop priorities and allocate personnel, equipment, and resources to meet project milestones and deadlines, proactively identifying and addressing any issues or risks." and later "Establish shop priorities and allocate personnel, equipment, and resources to meet project schedules and business objectives." We'll keep both as they are not exact duplicates but similar; we should preserve all substantive info, not remove unless duplicated lines exactly same. We'll keep both.
Now structure:
We could have:
About the role
Job Summary ...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Qualifications
Education Required ...
Experience Required ...
Preferred ...
Certifications, Licenses & Registrations Required ...
Skills
Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities ...
maybe as list? It's a paragraph with many sentences; we could keep as .
Benefits
- Competitive base pay
... but we separated Pay. Actually Benefits list includes: 401(k) plan, Generous paid time off..., 100% employer-paid Health..., Employee Assistance Program, Life Insurance, Short- and Long-Term Disability coverage, Critical Illness and Accident insurance, Annual Evaluations with the opportunity for a pay increase based on performance. Also "We invest in our people because they are the foundation of our success." maybe not needed.
We could put Pay section separate: Pay
Competitive base pay
Benefits section list the rest.
Schedule: Schedule
Willingness to work flexible hours including occasional evenings and weekends as required.
Also maybe include "Physical Demands", "Working Conditions", "Equipment & Software", "Additional Job Requirements", "Supervisory Responsibilities". Those are not in allowed headings list but could be included as sections? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. However we should preserve all substantive information; we could include them as
under appropriate sections or as separate headings if they are substantive. But to follow guidance, maybe we incorporate them into Responsibilities or Qualifications? Physical Demands and Working Conditions could be under Responsibilities? Not ideal. Could create a section "Working Conditions" but not in list; risk of being considered extra heading. The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say you cannot use other headings, but the examples are those. Safer to stick to those headings and place other info under appropriate sections (e.g., Physical Demands under Responsibilities? maybe under a separate paragraph within Responsibilities). However the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid many thin sections. So we can combine Physical Demands, Working Conditions, Equipment & Software, Additional Job Requirements, Supervisory Responsibilities into Responsibilities or Qualifications as paragraphs.
Let's decide: We'll have sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties + Physical Demands + Working Conditions + Equipment & Software + Additional Job Requirements + Supervisory Responsibilities), Qualifications (Education, Experience, Preferred, Certifications), Skills (Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's extract each piece.
Company description: "About Mesa Power Solutions Mesa Power Solutions is a fast-growing U.S. manufacturer delivering reliable, responsible power systems to industrial markets nationwide. We engineer and build advanced, sound-attenuated, temperature-controlled generator sets designed to perform in the toughest environments.

Values Drive Everything We Do. We Are: Action-Oriented. Disciplined. Accountable. Passionate. Trustworthy."
We could put that as a paragraph under About the role? Actually About the role is job summary; but we could also include company description as a preamble before sections. The instruction: 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 didn't forbid a paragraph about company. So we can include a
before sections.
Now Job Summary: "The R&D Shop Manager leads the daily operations of Mesa Power Solutions' development shop, supporting engine, genset, and distribution gear development through prototype fabrication, testing, machining, welding, and product validation activities. This role provides leadership and mentorship to engineering technician teams, manages shop resources and budgets, and partners closely with Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, and Project Management to ensure successful product development and commercialization.

Now Physical Demands: list of items. Could be a paragraph but we can include as a under Responsibilities after the list.
Physical Demands text: "Constant Seeing (Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception and ability to adjust focus) Hearing Use hands to type, touch, handle, or feel Sitting Frequent Standing Walking or moving throughout facility Talking Occasional Bending or stooping Squatting or crouching Reaching Kneeling Pushing Pulling Occasionally required to walk and climb or balance"
We'll keep as a paragraph.
