Operations Technician - Commissioning Team (Current Employee) – Long Harbour, NL – 12 August 2013
Plant is in the comissioning stage, therefore going through though changes with scope of work, which is dependant on construction completion.
A typical day will inclue reviewing and updating procedures, walking flow paths and reading and modifying P&ID's
Managment is dealing with changing deadlines pertaining to construction completion.
Good Crew Selected for the first hire of techs, based on attitude and apptitude test.
The potential for advancment and salary increase is the most discouraging with this company, and not being fully utilized to my potential.
The most enjoyable part is learning what it takes to commission a plant and the attention to detail that it requires.
