fossil-fuel power plant operator (EN)
ISCO 3131 · v1.2.1
Fossil-fuel power plant operators operate and maintain industrial equipment, such as generators, turbines and boilers, that provides electricity produced from fossil fuels like natural gas or coal. They ensure the safety of operations and that the equipment complies with legislation. They may also work in combined cycle power plants which use heat recovery systems to recover exhaust heat from one operation and activate steam turbines.
Classification skills are not a measurement of your proficiency or future displaced hours.
