Description

• Maintain Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) equipment in accordance with regulatory requirements.
• Participate in root cause analysis of abnormal conditions, alarms, and equipment trips.
• Operate major auxiliary equipment, including air compressors, boiler feedwater and condensate systems, water treatment systems, and locally controlled electrical and mechanical equipment.
• Conduct routine water chemistry analysis and operate Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEM) equipment.
• Troubleshoot, calibrate, and repair power plant instrumentation, Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).
• Collect and log plant operating data.
• Follow established preventive and predictive maintenance plans, including testing and operating control equipment and systems.
• Support special projects and tasks as assigned by the Plant Manager.
• Assist the CRO with start-up, shutdown, and normal operations of power plant systems.
• Perform instrumentation and control (I&C) activities to support planned outages, emergency repairs, and other maintenance tasks to ensure plant systems operate efficiently, reliably, and safely.
• Maintain accurate records of plant maintenance work using the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
• Ensure all equipment repairs or modifications comply with manufacturer guidelines.
• Execute operational orders from the Control Room Operator (CRO) for starting, securing, or preparing equipment for service in accordance with operating instructions and procedures.
• Maintain plant DC emergency battery backup systems.
