Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Geothermal power plant equipment and control systems — monitor, adjust, and document operating parameters routinely with minimal oversight during standard shifts.
  • Operational logs, maintenance records, and shift reports — prepare and maintain accurately and on schedule using established formats and software tools.
  • Common equipment malfunctions in electrical systems and instrumentation — troubleshoot using diagnostic procedures and correct within the scope of routine maintenance tasks.
  • Well field and plant performance data — collect, record, and review for consistency and accuracy, flagging anomalies to the shift supervisor.
  • Post-installation pressure, flow, and leak tests — perform independently on horizontal and vertical geothermal loop piping and document results clearly.
  • Auxiliary and backup heating or cooling systems — assess activation needs during moderately adverse weather conditions using established decision criteria.
  • Industrial control software and SCADA interfaces — operate to monitor system status and make approved parameter adjustments in a plant control room.
  • Compressor and pump equipment options — evaluate specifications against operational requirements and select appropriate units following established guidelines.
  • CAD and GIS software — use at a basic level to retrieve site layout diagrams and loop field maps in support of installation and maintenance tasks.
  • Preventive maintenance schedules for geothermal heat pumps and associated equipment — execute and record outcomes using standard checklists and ERP software.
