Specialist, Predictive Maintenance B - 518925
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content.
We need to parse posting.
Key info:
- Organization: Generation Department: Regional Engineering South Work Location: Lagoon Creek Combined Cycle - Brownsville, Tennessee
- Relocation: Relocation benefits are offered for this position and will be aligned with federal travel regulations
- Posting Open: 09/26/2026 Posting Close: 10/5/2026 at 11:59 PM EST
- Salary: Competitive (but "Competitive" is vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says Salary: Competitive. That's not specific number; but it's still a statement about pay. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Salary: Competitive. That's a statement about pay, albeit vague. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Salary: Competitive, which is a statement about pay. So we could include a Pay section Pay with that content. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And "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')". "Competitive" is somewhat vague but not exactly placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's still vague but maybe acceptable. I'd lean to include Pay section with that line.
- Benefits: Relocation benefits are offered... So we have Benefits section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit Schedule.
- About the role: Could be the Job Summary paragraph. That is substantive.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list of duties: "Plans, conducts, and evaluates engineering support tasks related to equipment performance testing, statistical data management, and predictive maintenance technologies. This position will require ownership in the following technologies: tribology, vibrations, acoustic, thermography, performance testing, statistical data analysis/reporting including GADS and methods of chemical analyses and control. Develops check sheets, checklists, procedures, Generation Sensitive Activities (GSA’s), Job Safety Analyses (JSA’s), root cause analysis, and work scope documents. Communication and reporting of site PdM/CBM (Predictive maintenance/Condition based maintenance) issues. This may include generating CR’s, updating work orders and documenting problems identified. Performs chemistry lab duties in support of unit start-ups. Performs general troubleshooting, apparent/root cause analyses on out of specification chemistry parameters including maintaining/updating structure trees and takes corrective actions as needed. Other duties as assigned by supervision. This job may require travel to support fleet needs outside of assigned duty station". That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications etc. Also "Must be able to obtain and maintain unescorted plant access. Must be able to travel to plant locations as required when performing assigned tasks and, as necessary, to be temporarily assigned to a field location." Also "Education And Experience/Certificates, Licenses, And Registration Requirements/Other Requirements".

Or, prior experience in a comparable position providing the required experience and knowledge." Also "A bachelor’s degree in a physical or life science / technical area of study such as chemistry, biology, physics, geology, or engineering, associate’s degree in a highly technical field, and/or comparable work experience in power plant (or equivalent industrial field) operations, maintenance or in the field of predictive maintenance."
- Skills And Proficiencies: list: Math (algebra, trigonometry), Problem Solving & Analysis, Root Cause, Communication and technical writing, Diagnostics and testing, PC desktop applications (word processing, spreadsheet, graphic presentation, etc.), statistical data analyses methods/programs (GADS, DataFuser, etc.), methods of chemical analyses and control (ASTM standards, TVA’s water treatment manual). Also "Interface: The successful candidate will provide timely and accurate communication of PdM/CBM issues that could affect the plant and reporting of Site Watch List Items." That could be part of Skills.
- Benefits: Relocation benefits offered aligned with federal travel regulations.
- Pay: Salary: Competitive.
We should not include boilerplate like EEO, Drug-Free Workplace, How To Claim Vet Preference, How To Submit Documentation, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
Structure: Use for each section heading, then content: either
for prose or
- for lists.
We need to decide which content goes where.
About the role: Could be the Job Summary paragraph: "This is a senior (B) level Predictive Maintenance (PdM) position at a Coal, Gas or Hydro fossil plant or other applicable organization. Plans, conducts, and evaluates engineering support tasks related to equipment performance testing, statistical data management, and predictive maintenance technologies." Actually that overlaps with responsibilities. Maybe better to put About the role as a brief description: maybe the first paragraph after Job Summary? The posting says: "Job Summary This is a senior (B) level Predictive Maintenance (PdM) position at a Coal, Gas or Hydro fossil plant or other applicable organization. Plans, conducts, and evaluates engineering support tasks related to equipment performance testing, statistical data management, and predictive maintenance technologies." That could be About the role.
Responsibilities: The rest of duties after that: "This position will require ownership in the following technologies: tribology, vibrations, acoustic, thermography, performance testing, statistical data analysis/reporting including GADS and methods of chemical analyses and control. Develops check sheets, checklists, procedures, Generation Sensitive Activities (GSA’s), Job Safety Analyses (JSA’s), root cause analysis, and work scope documents.

Requirements: Could be the Minimum Qualifications etc: "Must be able to obtain and maintain unescorted plant access. Must be able to travel to plant locations as required when performing assigned tasks and, as necessary, to be temporarily assigned to a field location." Also maybe the education/experience etc. But those could be Qualifications.
Qualifications: Education and experience etc.
Skills: Skills and proficiencies list.
Benefits: Relocation benefits.
Pay: Salary: Competitive.
We need to avoid duplication. Ensure we preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract each piece.
From posting:
- Organization/Department/Work Location: "Generation Department: Regional Engineering South Work Location: Lagoon Creek Combined Cycle - Brownsville, Tennessee". Could be included in About the role or a separate meta? Not required to have a section for location; we could embed in About the role paragraph.
- Relocation benefits: "Relocation benefits are offered for this position and will be aligned with federal travel regulations"
- Posting Open/Close dates: Could be omitted as metadata? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph at top maybe with posting dates and location? But they said fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We could include a
with that info before sections. However they said output ONLY the HTML fragment; we can include a
for metadata. But better to keep minimal. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we just drop metadata. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; posting dates maybe not substantive for job description? Might be considered metadata. I'd drop them. - Salary: Competitive. - Job Summary: as above. - Responsibilities: as above. - Minimum Qualifications: "Must be able to obtain and maintain unescorted plant access. Must be able to travel to plant locations as required when performing assigned tasks and, as necessary, to be temporarily assigned to a field location." - Education And Experience/Certificates, Licenses, And Registration Requirements/Other Requirements: includes bachelor's degree etc, associate's degree, comparable work experience, full competence, PdM Specialist Training Program, prior experience, Level I certification, Level II certification. - Skills And Proficiencies: list. - Interface: "The successful candidate will provide timely and accurate communication of PdM/CBM issues that could affect the plant and reporting of Site Watch List Items." Could be part of Skills or Responsibilities. We need to avoid duplication: The Interface statement is similar to responsibilities about communication. Could be included under Skills. Now craft sections. We'll start with a
for location maybe? But location is substantive? It's work location. Could be included in About the role. Let's draft:
