When you say plants, what exactly does this plant do?

anything from refining to making power.

I'll assume the operator is the head boss of the plant

you shouldn't. most operators are just wrench turners. get it? they "operate" the plant.

The people on the other end of the ladder from the operator, the lower level, entry level plant workers..what do they do? What are their primary tasks?

---

there are engineers, technicians, electricians, etc.

yes
