Summary

As a Control Room Operator, your primary responsibility is to successfully complete all required training objectives and develop the skills necessary for promotion to the Operations Specialist position (SRP's Control Room title). 

The Control Room Operator is involved in all aspects of operating a power generation facility. Depending on the facility, operating personnel may also perform maintenance-related functions in addition to operational duties. The scope and complexity of these maintenance responsibilities vary by facility and may not be specifically listed below; however, they are considered an expected part of the role. 

Because the Control Room Operator position is a designated training role with a defined training period, it is not eligible as an upgrade position for an O&M 3 Operator. 

What You'll Do

This position is responsible for the successful completion of the OST curriculum and promotion to the Operator Specialist classification. 

Under limited supervision is responsible for learning the facility specific operation of coal, natural gas and fuel oil fired steam generating units and steam turbine generators, simple cycle gas turbines and combined cycle units, conventional and pumped storage hydro units, internal combustion engine units, solar powered units, wind powered units and fuel cell powered units, and their related equipment.

  • OST is responsible for learning to operate and monitor equipment and auxiliaries by remote control from the control room as well as from throughout the facility using pertinent information from Distributed Control Systems, gauges, instruments, and communication facilities located in the control room and throughout the plant.
  • OST is responsible for operation of all units in his charge with his related equipment.  In addition to his power plant duties, this may include regular O&M duties at the site, including housing areas, civil works, roadways, water or sewer systems, etc.
  • OST is responsible for learning to coordinate and maintain unit availability with AGC, which includes preparation and planning for load reductions/increases based on system demands. Duties require a complete and thorough knowledge of the entire plant operation as it relates to the generation of power.
  • OST is responsible for learning to operate units within environmental and SRP guidelines.
  • OST is responsible for learning how to direct the work of other classifications and assists as directed by others in the completion of tasks.
  • The OST will be required to train personnel in other classifications in the proper operation of plant equipment, controls, and procedures.
  • OST is responsible for learning how to evaluate plant processes and issue clearances, as needed; this requires a thorough knowledge of the clearance procedure.

The typical duties are not intended to include all duties that comprise the job content but are intended to illustrate the levels of difficulty of the job. Overlapping of typical duties and responsibilities exists and may occur between classifications. Employees may be assigned to perform duties of either higher or lower classifications. Shift work, non-continuous multi-shift, and overtime may be required.

What It Takes To Succeed

Training Objective:

The successful completion of all training curriculum defined by the Operations Specialist Trainee program and all testing and job performance measures must be completed successfully. All training shall be completed within two years from the date of promotion but, with Plant Manager's agreement, can vary due to work demands. The skill-training curriculums will vary based on business needs.

Skills training can and will change to meet the needs of the facility. Mandatory Regulatory Training will be completed to comply with SRP policy.

Progressionary Training Objectives:

Successful completion of the OST curriculum. Upon completion of the OST curriculum training, progression to the Operator Specialist classification is available without having to wait for there to be an opening in that classification at their current facility. Failure to complete the OST curriculum, testing and job performance measures in the specified amount of time will, at management's discretion, result in either a) an opportunity to bid to another position, or b) a demotion to O&M 3 T/A Specialist position.

Candidates will be evaluated and those who meet minimum qualifications and are selected to move forward in the hiring process will be sent the Trades Assessment link. If you are a current employee in a role that requires the Trades Assessment, you do not need to take the assessment.
