This unit includes operating and monitoring the performance of the power generation plant and making appropriate changes to meet power demand. This includes a full understanding of the process and all OHS requirements including emergency situations.
The operations technician would:
identify, correct and report operational problems
be aware of and contribute to a safe working environment
contribute to the safe and productive operation of the system
operate, monitor and maintain equipment using relevant procedures.
Generally the operations technician would be part of a team during start-up, shutdown and normal operating conditions. However they would be expected to be capable of demonstrating competence in all parts of this unit. They would be taking a leading role in liaising and cooperating with other members of the team.
In a typical scenario an operations technician operates, monitors, starts up and shuts down power generation systems and ancillary equipment.
