Where a fossil-fuel power plant operator can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a fossil-fuel power plant operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Fossil-fuel power plant operators operate and maintain industrial equipment, such as generators, turbines and boilers, that provides electricity produced from fossil fuels like natural gas or coal. They ensure the safety of operations and that the equipment complies with legislation. They may also work in combined cycle power plants which use heat recovery systems to recover exhaust heat from one operation and activate steam turbines.
