What’s it like to be a Process Plant Operator (Oil and Gas)?
Process plant operators in the oil and gas industry control, monitor and
maintain the plant machinery and equipment to produce, refine and pump
chemicals, oil, gas and petroleum.
Most refineries and processing plants use sophisticated computers to control
the equipment and processes. Knowledge of chemical and mechanical processes
and equipment performance is very important in order to safely optimise
production quantity and quality.
Process plant operators usually work in remote locations, possibly on a fly-
in, fly-out basis, usually flying from a base location to the worksite, where
they work for a number of weeks and then return to the base location.
Shiftwork may be required.
Process plant operators work in physically challenging environments, with
heavy machinery and potentially hazardous chemicals. Strict safety procedures
and regulations must be followed to minimise the risk. There is zero tolerance
for drugs and alcohol at these worksites and workers may be required to submit
to regular testing.
