NAES
The Gilbert Generating Station, located on a 232‑acre site along the Delaware River in Hunterdon County, features a 288 MW four‑on‑one natural gas combined‑cycle unit and a 152 MW oil/gas‑fired simple‑cycle peaking turbine. Originally commissioned in the 1920s as a coal‑fired facility, the plant was converted to oil in 1970 and later transitioned to natural gas.
Opportunity Summary The Control Room Operator (CRO) monitors all plant systems continuously, clears alarms and upset conditions through appropriate corrective actions, and executes plant shutdown and startup procedures. The CRO ensures the plant meets generating requirements while operating safely and efficiently, adhering to approved procedures, guidelines, and plant directives.
Primary Responsibilities
Assist in startup, operation, and shutdown of all equipment, including turbines and generators.
Ensure safe and efficient operation of combustion turbines, HRSGs, steam turbines, generators, and auxiliaries.
Support NAES Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Compliance Programs.
Maintain daily logs and plant records accurately (electrical output, steam output, emissions, fuel, water, heat rates).
Review logs and records to confirm effective tag‑out procedures and equipment status.
Maintain plant operating manuals, technical references, and preventive/predictive maintenance records.
Communicate plant abnormalities to personnel and management.
Monitor equipment performance and take corrective action when alarms activate.
Direct work of others as needed.
Participate in staff training and shift relief procedures.
Proactively monitor all plant equipment and systems.
Assist in troubleshooting and diagnosing equipment failures.
Support control measures during plant upset conditions.
Support maintenance team with LOTO, equipment identification, and work requests.
Complete additional tasks as requested by the Operations Manager.
Safety and Compliance Safety is a core value at NAES. Employees must remain mentally alert, follow all safety rules and posted signs, and adhere to all NAES safety procedures. Compliance is a key performance factor.
Working Relationships The CRO reports to the Operations Manager and Plant Manager, giving direction to operations personnel and responding to their directions.
