geothermal power plant operator
Geothermal power plant operators operate and maintain equipment, often steam-driven turbines, which produce electrical energy. They monitor measuring equipment to ensure the safety of operations, and that the production needs are met. They also react to system problems, and repair faults. They may regulate the generators to control the flow of electricity to the power lines.
Also called: geo-thermal plant operator, geothermal power plant operative, geothermal plant operator, geothermal plant worker, geo-thermal power plant worker, geothermal plant operative, geo-thermal plant worker, geo-thermal plant operative
