comanche peak pay

[wagnerag]

Does any on here have an idea of what the pay is for qualified NLO's, RO's and SRO's at comanche peak?

NLO's (called Nuclear Equipment Operators, NEO's) and RO's are part of the bargaining unit and are paid according to the union contract.

The 2013-2015 Contract is available on the IBEW website
http://www.ibewlu220.com/doc/contract/CPNPP2013-2015.pdf (pg 29-31)

Most fully-qualified NEO's make about $41-43 / hour (once you include the base pay, plus the fire brigade adder, plus the instructor adder).
Most RO's make about $45 / hour, plus a license bonus of $750 / month.

There is a small increase in pay ($1 / hour) for hours worked on nights. Overtime is 1.5x. There is no holiday pay.

SRO pay is a bit different because they are salaried and not part of the bargaining unit. Generally an SRO gets paid similar to an RO, except the SRO annual bonus is considerably larger. My best guess for typical SRO annual compensation: $140k

In view of their responsibility, they are underpaid.

Seems like they get paid pretty well to me...

I noticed there's no retirement plan available for new employees, though.  Gotta be smart with your money, then

New employees are automatically enrolled in the company 401(k). The company will match 100% the first 6% contribution of your base pay.

Nice!  I guess I missed that.  They seem to offer great healthcare plans as well, after talking to some people at Comanche Peak.  I recently passed the POSS and had an interview there; hopefully I hear something back soon.
