Hallo !

I´m Frank from Germany. I´m a Control Room Operator.
We won the Green Card for 2009 and we are planing to move to America next year.
I have worked over twenty years in a fossil fuel power plant in Germany and now I wand make new experience in America.
How are the change of a job in a power pant and witch part of USA is the best?

Thank your very much for your answer.

Frank

Working in the states should be the same as working in Germany. We have stringent OSHA regulations and safety procedures mandated by federal regulatories. There are many plants on the south and south east as well as the north and north east. What type of plant are you looking at work at? Nuclear, combined cycle, wind?

Thank you for your answer.

J prefer a fossil fuel power plant with natural gas, coal or oil.
Now I work in a CHP [Combined heat and power plant] with
a CFB [Circulirt Fluidized Bed Boiler].
I operated all stations in our plant [steam turbine, gas turbine,
heat recovery steam generator and district heating for local housing)
I work in a control room and out site.

I have searched for power plants in the INTERNET, and I think,
Kentucky or Indiana would be a good place for us.

Greetings from Germany

Frank
