Operator In Training (OIT) positions are entry-level roles designed for individuals who are learning how to operate and maintain equipment or systems, typically in fields such as water treatment, wastewater management, or manufacturing. These roles provide hands-on experience under the supervision of certified operators and often include classroom or on-the-job training to prepare for certification exams. The goal is to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to advance to fully certified operator positions. OITs are responsible for assisting with daily operations, monitoring equipment, and following safety protocols while learning industry standards and regulations.
