Nscale job fair recruits workers for Mason County data center
Nscale held a job fair in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, to recruit workers for its Monarch Compute Campus data center and power generation microgrid, which is currently under construction. Site preparation is underway, and local residents expressed interest in the job opportunities, though some opposition to the construction was noted via protest signs.
Nscale hosted a job fair on June 30, 2026, in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, to staff its Monarch Compute Campus data center and power generation microgrid. The facility, located along W.Va. 62 north of Point Pleasant, is currently undergoing site preparation.
The event allowed Nscale, its contractors, and labor unions like SMART Local 24 to recruit individuals for both construction and operational roles. Landon Wolfe, a field technician with Boyd Caterpillar, was among those recruiting to maintain engines that will generate electricity for the campus.
Despite the recruitment efforts and ongoing construction, protest signs against the data center's development were visible near the site, particularly on a hill behind the Meadowlands Estates subdivision, indicating local opposition to the project.
