I'm a Navy ET getting out EWS qualified with about 9 years total. I'm very interested in working at this plant because my wife is from the Tri-Cities. What kind of salary and benefits am I looking at for SRO? I know the cost of living there is lower than many other areas, so I would expect to see a slightly lower salary. Also, how is the shift schedule for SRO? What kind of advancement can I expect to see and what is the likelihood of getting a day shift only job? I've got a family that doesnt take shift work too well.

Our salaries are competitive with the rest of the industry for Operators. We recently brought in a class of Equipment Operators, and have two classes of Control Room Operators (RO/SRO) finishing up this fall and next spring. The next class will not start until about August of 2009. We run a six shift rotation, 12 hour shifts. Advancement depends on your talents and abilities. You can expect to spend a number of years on shift as an SRO (usually). There are not that many day-shift jobs, and lots of talented people that have been on shift for a long time. If interested, openings are posted on our website, www.Energy-northwest.com. Best of luck. |

Do you really think WNP Salaries are competitive? They must have really upgraded their pay structure since 2006.

We made some changes to the Operations pay structure to become more competitive. Our Engineering and other support positions were in better shape.

Smoke is gone.....but the evidence remains. We are now dealing with asbestos. Looks like it will be a while till we are back online (2-6 weeks).....which sucks...except for the overtime.

Glad to hear everyone is safe.
2-6 weeks sounds like a long time. Any RTS date yet?

Anyone know the normal class up/hiring times of Equipment Operators and Reactor Operators? I get out of the Navy in the fall and I'm wondering if this time would mesh with the hiring dates of the plant.

INPO.....although we might have moved up to 103 recently. We went from INPO 2 to INPO 4 following their last visit. Equipment reliability is our MAJOR problem.....however we are on a 436 day run right now....just dont ask about "scheduled" down powers  |

Would you like to come back and help with 606' re-assembly sometime in August? LOL
The latest schedule is 126 days. The last of the condenser bundles is being moved in, a lot of fit-up and welding to be done...along with tube repairs. It has been a challenge, but, I am confident
we will endure....
