What is an operator training simulator?

Operator Training Simulators (OTS) are specialized computer-based systems designed to train plant operators in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing. These simulators replicate real-world plant environments and processes, allowing operators to practice normal and emergency procedures in a safe, virtual setting. OTS help improve operator skills, enhance safety, and reduce the risk of costly errors by providing hands-on experience without impacting live operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an operator training simulator specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Operator Training Simulator Specialist, you need a solid understanding of industrial processes, training methodologies, and often a degree in engineering or a related technical field. Proficiency in simulator software, control systems, and relevant certifications like TUV or ISA are commonly required. Strong communication, problem-solving, and instructional skills help in effectively training operators and addressing their learning needs. These abilities ensure accurate knowledge transfer, operational safety, and enhanced performance in complex industrial environments.

What are some common challenges faced when using an operator training simulator, and how can new hires overcome them?

New hires often encounter challenges such as adapting to realistic simulation environments, understanding complex system processes, and managing pressure during simulated emergency scenarios. To overcome these, it’s helpful to thoroughly review the simulator’s user manual, actively participate in guided training sessions, and seek feedback from experienced colleagues. Collaboration with team members during simulations can also improve learning outcomes and help build confidence in responding to real-world operational events.

What is the difference between Operator Training Simulator vs Control Room Operator?

AspectOperator Training SimulatorControl Room Operator
Primary RoleProvides simulated training environments for operators to practice skills safelyManages and monitors industrial control systems in real-time
Required CredentialsTraining certifications, technical knowledge of systemsTechnical certifications, operational experience
Work EnvironmentSimulation labs, training centersControl rooms, industrial facilities
Industry UsageUsed in training programs across industries like oil, gas, powerOperational in industries such as manufacturing, energy, utilities

While both roles involve technical knowledge of industrial systems, an Operator Training Simulator is a tool used for training purposes, whereas a Control Room Operator actively manages and monitors systems in real-time to ensure smooth operations.

Job description

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a UAS, UAV, RPV, or DRONE pilot position. 

We are looking for a Full-time, Remote Pilot Operator (RPO) candidates to join the SAIC Controller Training Solutions (CTS) team at the Dallas-Fort Worth TRACON (D10), located in Dallas, TX, supporting air traffic controller training services for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Job Description:

The RPO plays the role of the pilot and other controllers in the Air Traffic Controller training simulator.  The RPO operates a combination of a simulated radar display and voice communication system to simulate the actions and communication of pilots and remote ATC facilities during medium and high-fidelity training exercises. RPOs receive voice commands from students, input proper entries into the automated system to simulate pilot actions, translate displayed information into appropriate ATC terminology, and respond to the student via the VCS utilizing proper phraseology.

The candidate will be required to complete the following certifications: Classroom (pass test on airspace and procedures) and Lab (perform as a Remote Pilot Operator on all positions).

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for ensuring that air traffic control specialists provide the flying public with a high level of safety and professionalism. A well-trained Air Traffic Control (ATC) workforce plays an essential role in fulfilling this responsibility. The FAA employs more than 14,000 air traffic controllers. They work in air traffic facilities of varying sizes, safely separating more than 50,000 aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS) each day.

To provide such air traffic services, the FAA trains new air traffic control specialists and provides recurrent training to current air traffic control specialists. The FAA utilizes Contractor-provided instructional services at FAA ATC facilities throughout the U.S. and its Territories to ensure these training needs are met. The scope of the contractor-provided services includes all training and training program support to successfully train and prepare students to become fully certified air traffic controllers. SAIC must provide training and training related support services as required for all types and levels of ATC facilities.
