Collect and analyze HRSG water samples and adjust chemical feed as authorized to maintain water quality within established specifications.
Interpret instrument readings, meters, gauges, and annunciator signals; record operating parameters, shift logs, equipment rounds, and inspection results.
Troubleshoot equipment and system malfunctions, assist with failure investigations, recommend corrective actions, and identify maintenance needs.

Support emergency response, equipment failure investigations, and other activities involving abnormal plant conditions or operational incidents.
Complete site-specific Plant Operator qualifications within six months of hire and Head Operator qualifications within two years after completing Plant Operator qualifications.
Review and revise operating procedures and related documentation to support accurate, consistent plant operations.
Coordinate with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, contractors, and vendors to communicate plant conditions and support operational priorities.
Assist with operator training and cross-training to develop personnel and maintain operational proficiency.
Monitor the off-loading of aqueous ammonia and other bulk chemicals in accordance with established handling and environmental requirements.
Maintain clean and orderly work areas, identify hazards, and follow applicable safety, environmental, regulatory, and company requirements.
Perform additional duties as assigned to support the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of the facility.
