Hiring

<< < (3/3)

Sorry BZ and Mike didn't know he was on of those LOL

For what its worth

The RP jobs have been pulled because they (Duke) only run these for two weeks unless there are no apps received and then they may stay out for longer.  Yes they are in cahoots with a Tech college and will likely fill many positions from there but will look at more experienced dependant on each sites needs.

As for ops what has been said is true from my experience.  Getting into license class is like a personality contest and all others positions are home grown as quoted.

The current philosophy at Duke is hire um young pay them bottom rung pay and teach them to be up to speed to run the place in 5 years so all the old farts can RIP.

Shame to BZ you would fit right in man ;D  Oconee has hot turbines and McGuire and Catawba have lower containments about the size of most drywell's Ive been in.

Ditto with that low pay issue.  I would have taken a pay CUT from my Navy pay if I accepted their offer.  I know I'm not qualified to operate a civilian plant yet, but I'm definitely worth more.  I didn't even have to haggle with Progress or Southern to get multiple offers for nearly twice what Duke was willing to give.

LMAO!! Ice Condenser Lower Containments. I remember when I started at SQN. Everyone and I mean everyone was telling me how my eyes would be opened at how cramped the containment is.  Now I'd already seen the dimensions and knew the Lower Compartment was 3 times bigger than the entire Fermi containment but I was told yeah but you wouldn't believe how much equipment is in there. So on my first entry I was prepared for the worst, then openly laughed at how much extra space there was. Heck in many parts two people can walk side by side!! There's nothing like a BWR MK I Containment to cure one of claustrophobia!
