BAM Workforce Solutions is partnering within a power generation facility in search of a Plant Operator to join their team. This is a permanent opportunity for an experienced plant professional ready to take on a lead role in the safe and efficient operation of an industrial power facility.


This role offers competitive pay along with a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, retirement savings with company contribution, and additional employee programs.

  • Get your hands dirty during equipment outages, performing inspections and pitching in on maintenance tasks across the facility.
  • Move equipment around the facility using forklifts, manlifts, skid steers, and similar machinery.
  • Keep communication sharp across the board — with your crew, vendors, and plant leadership.

Requirements:

  • 5 years working in a power plant setting.
  • Hands-on understanding of how steam generating systems work and how to keep them running right.
  • Enough mechanical ability to handle tasks like valve repacking, shear pin swaps, and routine equipment checks.
  • Comfortable with the math needed to perform daily job functions accurately.
