all sorts, she works as a contractor i'm assuming. contractors come and go all the time. it's outage time right now so everyone is working crazy hours.the actual "in house" people that i'm talking about were part of the layoff last year and they came from every department at the plant pretty much. sort of a cutting of the fat.

Owen works at a plant in wallingford, also My father has worked at Millstone & cleanenergy years ago as a pipefitterdoing mostly welding.

What plant does Owen work at?

i keep in close touch with the people over at millstone, as of right now they still aren't hiring people. haven't in a few years due to the economy, layed off several hundred people though

Damn thats what I was afraid of. Usually these places take ship engineers but the economy sucks everywhere.

You guys know the name off the top of your head? If not I'll just google it

[clean4drxj]

Covanta (not sure on the spelling)

Yea, I work at Covanta in Wallingford. They are the largest "alternative" fuel energy provider in the US, I believe over 50 plants now. I am a mechanic and certified code welder there. The operations staff is a lot larger than the maintenance staff. The best way to find out about the company and career oppurtunities is through their web site.

I have been in the power industry for over 2 years now and I have found it really enjoyable. Unfortunately, I sounds like a lot of power plants are downsizing so jobs are becoming a little more scarce. The "alternative" fuels industry seems pretty stable. If you don't mind a somewhat dirty workplace, you have the oppurtunity for a great career and really great income if you look at alternative fuels.

I work for Covanta and like I said they have plants across the country. Another alternative fuels energy provider is Wheelabrator. They have a large plant in Bridgeport. Last I checked they had a few operator positions availible there. From my understanding the operations of Klean Energy in Middletown is contracted to NAES (North American Energy Services) so you might want to check their website for career oppurtunities as well.

Let me know if you have any more questions, and good luck.

Awesome Owen thats some great information there I greatly appreciate it! I'll look into what you mentioned. I dont mind getting dirty, yesterday I came out of work smelling like dead fish and today I smell like diesel. Usually it takes a few days after I get off here to get the smell of heavy fuel oil out of my hair but it doesn't bother me as much as the people sitting next to me on the airplane.
