We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Use

for headings. Use
  • for lists,

    for prose. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Sections present: - About Nscale (company description) – maybe not needed as a section? The instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly. We have "About The Role" description: a paragraph describing role. That's "About the role". So we will have

    About the role

    with

    containing that description. Then responsibilities: a long list of duties under "What you'll be doing". That's responsibilities. We'll create

    Responsibilities

    with
    • each bullet. Then requirements: "About You Required" bullet list of required qualifications. That's Requirements. Also there are "Preferred" items maybe under Qualifications? The instruction includes Qualifications and Skills separate. We can treat "Required" as Requirements, "Preferred" as Qualifications (or Skills). Also there are specific skills like "Deep working knowledge of generating equipment..." etc. Those could be Skills. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Benefits: "What we can offer you" list includes bullet points: collaborative environment, highly competitive US compensation package (base + bonus + equity), performance reviews, comprehensive medical/dental/vision, 401(k) match, generous PTO plus holidays, career-defining opportunity, human-first approach flexible workplace. Those are benefits. We'll put under Benefits. Pay: Salary Range $260,000—$450,000 USD. Also mention bonus, equity, etc. So we can have Pay section with that info. Schedule: mentions "Based on site at the Monarch Compute Campus, Mason County, West Virginia. Some travel required. Work will include off-hours, weekend, and holiday coverage. Work is performed in an active construction and energized electrical environment; the role requires the ability to wear arc-rated PPE, navigate construction sites, and work at elevation and in confined spaces as needed." That's schedule/working conditions. We'll put under Schedule. Also there is "Reporting, travel, and work environment" section that includes reporting line, location, travel, off-hours, etc. That fits Schedule. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, privacy notice, etc. Remove those. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine the paragraphs under "About The Role". It includes multiple sentences. We'll put as

      . Responsibilities: list each bullet from "What you'll be doing". Need to capture each duty. The text is a bit run-on with periods separating items. We'll split by sentences that start with capital after a period? Let's manually list: - Own site safety culture and operating discipline; ensure compliance with all applicable laws, permits, codes, and standards; and coordinate incident reporting, investigations, and corrective actions. - Own and execute the transition from construction and commissioning to operations, including operating procedures, turnover criteria, readiness checklists, staffing ramp-up, training and qualification programs, and operator handover from EPC/OEMs. - Own the Division of Responsibilities (DOR) matrix and responsibility assignment (RACI) across Monarch, the O&M service provider, and OEM/dealer maintenance providers; close seams and eliminate gaps and overlaps. - Own availability, reliability, and power quality performance aligned with mission-critical data center requirements; manage planned and forced outage performance and restoration readiness. - Own and govern preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance programs, including outage planning, major maintenance and overhaul coordination, and warranty and punch list management. - Own critical spares lists, min/max stocking levels, and consumables (fuel, lube, coolant) inventory; manage lead times, obsolescence risk, and OEM/dealer-supplied inventory interfaces to support reliability and outage execution. - Own the operational interface with the local utility and any interconnecting parties, including parallel operation, protection and relay coordination, standby service arrangements, metering and settlement data, and curtailment or islanding protocols. - Own and govern the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) and reliability reporting; integrate OEM telematics and site monitoring tools into a unified maintenance and KPI cadence. - Own performance management of O&M vendors, including service levels, KPIs, reporting cadence, issue escalation, and continuous improvement initiatives. - Own and enforce the operating governance model across the third-party operator and OEM/dealer maintenance team, including clear reporting lines, daily and weekly coordination cadence, KPI scorecards, work authorization, and escalation protocols. - Own the annual operating plan and O&M budget; drive cost transparency and disciplined spend controls while protecting reliability and compliance. - Own site emergency response planning and drills; coordinate incident response with the data center operations team, utilities, OEMs, and local agencies. - Build and lead a high-performing operations team, including recruitment, onboarding, training, performance management, and succession planning, and set expectations consistent with Monarch's values and operational standards. - Own and deliver standardized weekly and monthly reports covering the entire Monarch facility, including safety, availability and reliability, outage and maintenance execution, compliance status, spend versus budget, key risks and issues, and corrective action tracking. - Maintain local stakeholder communications and relationships. - Own identification and mitigation of operational risk, and provide concise, decision-ready reporting to Monarch leadership on operational readiness, performance trends, risks, and mitigation plans. That's many items. Requirements: list from "About You Required". Items: - 15+ years in power generation, mission-critical facilities, or heavy industrial operations, with at least 10 years in progressively senior leadership roles. - Senior leadership of at least one greenfield power plant through startup, performance testing, acceptance, and commercial operation, including standing up the operating organization, procedures, and compliance programs from scratch. - Direct management of multi-disciplinary plant organizations (operations, maintenance, engineering, predictive maintenance, environmental, and chemistry) at utility-scale facilities, with responsibility for 25 or more direct and indirect reports. - Ownership of plant O&M and capital budgets, including annual operating plans, multi-year capital planning, variance analysis, and corrective action. - Proven ability to negotiate and manage contracts with OEMs, maintenance contractors, and third-party operators, and to hold them accountable to contractual performance guarantees in a schedule-pressured environment. - Deep working knowledge of generating equipment, medium-voltage switchgear, protective relaying, and generator paralleling controls. - Working knowledge of NERC compliance, RTO/ISO registration and market interfaces, utility interconnection, and environmental permitting and compliance reporting. - Bachelor's degree in mechanical or electrical engineering. Preferred: MBA or equivalent business qualification. PMP, PE, or equivalent professional credential. Experience in PJM and with West Virginia or Appalachian-region generation assets. Experience operating behind-the-meter or island-mode generation serving a data center or other mission-critical load. Experience with reciprocating engine fleets, battery energy storage systems, and water treatment systems. We could treat Preferred as Qualifications or Skills. The instruction includes Qualifications and Skills sections. We could put Preferred under Qualifications, and maybe the specific technical knowledge under Skills. But we can also combine. Better: Requirements = required items. Qualifications = preferred items (MBA, PMP, PE, experience in PJM, etc). Skills = deep working knowledge etc. However deep working knowledge is also a requirement. Might be overlapping. We could make Qualifications = preferred items (MBA/PMP/PE, PJM experience, behind-the-meter experience, reciprocating engine fleets, BESS, water treatment). Skills = deep working knowledge of generating equipment, medium-voltage switchgear, protective relaying, generator paralleling controls; working knowledge of NERC compliance, RTO/ISO registration, utility interconnection, environmental permitting. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But instruction says we can have sections only if real specific content. We could have Qualifications (preferred) and Skills (technical knowledge). That's two sections. Benefits: list from "What we can offer you". Items: - Highly competitive US compensation package (base + bonus + equity), with performance reviews every 12 months - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage - 401(k) retirement plan with company match - Generous PTO plus US federal holidays - A career-defining opportunity to be an early leader in one of the fastest growing AI infrastructure companies in the world - A human-first approach: we treat you as humans first. Our flexible workplace trusts Nscalers to deliver, giving you the autonomy needed to get the job done. We could also include collaborative, supportive, innovative environment. That's also benefit. Pay: Salary Range $260,000—$450,000 USD. Also mention bonus, equity, etc. We'll put that. Schedule: location, travel, off-hours, weekend, holiday coverage, PPE, construction site, elevation, confined spaces. Now produce HTML. We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences. Let's craft. Start with

      Make sure to not include empty sections. Now write content. About the role paragraph: combine sentences: "Nscale Power & Energy's Monarch Compute Campus ("Monarch") is seeking a VP, Operations and Maintenance to lead safe, compliant, and high-availability operations and maintenance ("O&M") for Monarch's behind-the-meter power generation and energy infrastructure supporting a mission-critical data center campus in Mason County, West Virginia. This on-site role is accountable for operational and maintenance readiness from mobilization through commercial operations, day-to-day plant performance, and the integration and governance of key O&M counterparties (third-party operator and OEM/dealer maintenance providers) through a clearly defined division of responsibilities and disciplined performance management. Monarch intends to utilize (i) a third-party operations services provider to operate the facility and (ii) an OEM/dealer-affiliated maintenance services team to perform on-site maintenance work. The VP, Operations and Maintenance owns and runs the day-to-day operating model and governance, including a clear division of responsibilities, performance oversight, compliance and safety expectations, and escalation paths. The third-party operations services provider reports directly to the VP, Operations and Maintenance. The OEM/dealer maintenance team maintains a dual reporting relationship to the third-party operator (for day-to-day work coordination) and to the VP, Operations and Maintenance (for performance oversight, compliance, safety, and escalation). This is a senior leadership role. You will build Monarch's operating organization from mobilization forward, own its performance against mission-critical availability requirements, and represent operations to Nscale leadership, counterparties, and the local community." That's fine. Now responsibilities list as above. Now requirements list. Now qualifications list (preferred): MBA or equivalent business qualification; PMP, PE, or equivalent professional credential; Experience in PJM and with West Virginia or Appalachian-region generation assets; Experience operating behind-the-meter or
