I work in Transmission Ops and Power Supply for a large utility. I’m a little farther down the supply line from the power plant operators who’ve commented. They pump out the power, we manage the grid it flows on. Our group hires pretty regularly, but we are currently in a freeze. These type jobs are available all across the country, and anyone with a NERC certification and a little experience is in pretty high demand. I specifically deal with other utilities that border ours, and they all have jobs available, just getting in the door is the hard part. My education and background is totally irrelevant, but luckily I got in a nuke plant and was able to move to where I am now after a few years.



If you ever decided to make a change, large data centers would probably snatch you up too. Electrical / Mechanical Ops and Control room operations are big in data centers. Most of the guys I worked with had some kind of Nuke back ground, power generation guys, High voltage background, or Control Room Operators that came from Nuclear Plants. I’ve been out of the data center world for a few years and still get recruiters from Google, Apple and Facebook contacting me almost weekly.

The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.
