What its like to be a Power Plant Operator

[@JAT_DNA]

Really cool buddy. Enjoyed your video

[@wilnereustache2195]

Really Inspiring and well explained, please what degree does someone need to work at power plant, to be an operator or technician?

[@toddcooper3823]

Thanks for the video. I recently passed the POSS/MOSS exam. Im currently looking for employment and I wanted to ask you something. What’s your best advice you could give me to starting out as as plant operator?

[@Acontractuallife]

People will notice if you can remember the last readings on your rounds. When something goes wrong, they will ask the operator what was this number for this system, psi, temp, ect. Do your best to remember the numbers maybe for the last 2 rounds. Sure it's on the computer, but if you can just whip out off memory "oh the fan drive hz was suppose go be 8, but this last hour it was 32, then this last check it was just reading over over heated" that information really helps the mechanics, showing patterns.

Im 18 I found a position as a Hydroelectric Power Plant Operator and it just says you really only need a valid drivers license. Is this true? Am I good to apply? The pay is really good.

[@Acontractuallife]

That seems rather odd, that would be the only requirement. I'd do some more searching for that same job, posted on another site. I've come across that in the past where they didn't put all the details on one post, turns out, the job post on one site was missing a whole paragraph that was on the next!

[@Acontractuallife]

@jechocomision3459 if you can get a mechanic job. Especially heavy diesel, it's like 2000-2800 per week. Plus food and housing paid for, so just straight stack cash.
