Geothermal Production Managers
Management
Daily work is supervising people and equipment at geothermal plants and injection well fields. Operations, maintenance, and repairs are overseen so the facility stays within applicable standards; plant conditions are communicated to the crew. Inefficiencies in equipment, procedures, or operating conditions are identified and evaluated, and preventative maintenance is planned or directed. Site inspections check that plant and well-field equipment is working as it should. Budgets for geothermal operations are developed and managed, and corrosion-control systems are chosen and put in place. It suits people who like diagnosing plant and well-field problems on site, tracking performance, and coordinating a crew.
