offshore renewable energy plant operator
Offshore renewable energy plant operators operate and maintain equipment which produce electrical energy from marine renewable sources such as offshore wind power, wave power, or tidal currents. They monitor measuring equipment to ensure the safety of operations, and that the production needs are met. They also react to system problems, and repair faults.

Zone 2: Some Preparation Needed
Some preparation. Usually a high school diploma, some previous work-related skill or experience, and a few months to a year of training with experienced workers.
Job Zone is O*NET's rating of how much education, experience and training an occupation typically needs — a property of the work, not of anyone doing it.
