I issue permits in the field after you walk me through the job
Which is SOP, and in most plants procedure manual. rarely followed. Hats off to you that take job and safety seriously.
A few months ago I got into it with 3 young operators, total 8 years experience about line break procedures. They are DuPont guys. Lied their asses off. Claiming they did all first breaks. They call contractors to do "Operators assist" then point at the flange to open and walk away. Little punks should be fired. I haven't worked there in years but I still know the contractors that do. A lot of bad is shite happening at DuPont and they all claim if it is bad why don't the operators get sick. Because the hazards of cooking isn't as much as working in the units and they don't do shite, they let the contractors do anything hazardous.

The rapping teacher idiot from the Microsoft commercial would probably tell you this:
"They call him the operator, that's the guy who operates"
"They call him the operator, that's the guy who operates"

I am an Operator at a power plant in a remote area about 2 hours south of Fairbanks, Alaska.
For the guy who is looking to use his GI Bill to get into this, I was a Navy Nucelar Power plant Operator so my training was from the US NAVY but one of the best places to get a degree without going active duty military is at the
University of Alaska in Fairbanks. UAF. They have a process technology degree program. It takes about 2 years to get and you will start out at around 100K per year when you graduate.

the people who designed the process, patented it, sold and/or built it are the experts of "the unit"
(fluor, kbr, bechtel, etc..)
If only this were true. IME, this only applies to very specific patented/licensed processes. Even then, the “experts” rarely work for Fluor or Technip etc. The true experts in these cases work for the manufacturing company (Shell, Dow, etc.) that patented the process.
