How much do plant operators make?
How much do plant operators make? Was talking to a guy today and he told me that they were hiring at his plant. (I think it was an Exxon plant, not sure) I know that operators make bank, but I was wondering if anyone has any specific numbers? Not looking to give up the current gig, but you never know. 4 tens sound pretty fricken nice.....
whats top pay? Are you an operator? WTF do they do? I have gone on a couple of repair calls to some plants in Pasadena and all they do is look at magazines and gauges. I am sure their is more to it then that.....
Yeah, I always heard that. He said it's not so bad if you have a stable work history and can pass a drug test. He came out and told me about it. It was just kinda weird. I really haven't considered a job change (got 12 years in where I'm at).
i work for a company that services railcars in most plants along the channel and everywhere else.
alot of plants now require a process technology certificate, 5 years experience or know someone.
I used to drop cable in Pasadena plants and noticed pretty much the same thing. I spoke with one or two of the operators and they told me that when things heat up or it's time to do the nitty gritty, you better know your stuff to the hilt and that's what keeps you on board.

Yeah, from what I heard knowing somebody can get you in....
They make between 60-80 a year depending on OT and some get crazy and live out there and make 100+ a year. ExxonMobil top pay when I left was @$29hr and at BP in Texas city is 29.96/hr for a operator.
Thanks...Is the OT available all the time? What about shift work, is it hard to get adjusted too?
Usually starting pay is $20-25/ hr. and top out $29-$35/hr.
Depending on the overtime, the lowest ive ever seen an operator make is $65k (that was 6 yrs ago) and the highest was this year, i believe he made just over $130k.
I've been an operator for 7 yrs and haven't made below 75k yet. We do read some magazines and talk **** to contractors (^^ lol), but we get paid for what we know how to do, not for what we do on a daily basis.

Shift work sucks. I still haven't gotten used to it. Stay away from 4 on 4 off! The "dupont schedule" is what you want. 1 week off every month and you still get 1/2 of your weekends
