Power plant operator
Target Group
The power plant operator is in charge of running power plant facilities, which requires an understanding of the technical properties of power plant installations. Active learning, that is, learning by dealing with real-life situations, creates not only an in-depth understanding of technical, organizational, and interpersonal processes, but also enhances an individual’s decision-making capabilities. The power plant operator job profile (certified by an official degree from the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry) meets all professional demands of current practical power plant operations.
Objectives
The power plant operators’ area of responsibility has moved more in the direction of a control room operator in recent years, so that the power plant operator is increasingly involved in control and monitoring assignments and less in performing small hands-on jobs while making rounds in the plant. Therefore, the power plant operator’s skills in the fields of control systems and electronics have become more and more important.
