Channelview Cogeneration is an 851 MW combined-cycle power generation facility located in Houston, Texas. The plant operates in a 4x1 configuration featuring two Siemens 501F-D2 and two Siemens 501F-D3 combustion turbines, four Nooter/Eriksen heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and one Alstom steam turbine generator. The facility is designed to provide efficient, reliable generation while supporting the energy needs of the Houston-area market.

Opportunity Summary

The Power Plant Operator supports the safe, reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible operation of Channelview Cogeneration by monitoring equipment, performing field rounds, operating plant systems, and assisting with troubleshooting and maintenance. Working under the direction of the Operations Supervisor and Control Room Operator, this position supports normal and emergency operations, maintains water chemistry requirements, follows established procedures, and completes required Plant Operator and Head Operator qualifications.

Your scope of responsibility as Power Plant Operator will include the following primary functions:

Follow equipment clearance and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), Work Authorizations, and applicable confined space and hot work permit requirements.
Monitor DCS and PLC systems, including Siemens T3000, Ovation, and Allen-Bradley platforms, to assess equipment status and identify abnormal operating conditions.
Align plant equipment, operate manual valves, and adjust plant systems as directed by the Control Room Operator or Operations Supervisor.
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.
Prepare and review equipment work requests and assist maintenance personnel with inspections, repairs, preventive maintenance, and performance testing.
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.

This position will require extended hours, flexible shifts, weekends, and holidays as needed to support plant operations and business needs and may also require callout availability. Depending on the position, on-call status may or may not apply.
