What this role is
Senior supervisor responsible for overseeing shift teams and daily operations of a single power or mining plant. At the Manager II (M2) level, the role owns an established team or sub-function, cross-project coordination and priorities, and drives group delivery and development. Manages a team; sometimes manages leads.
What this level does
- Manage skilled operators and junior supervisors across shifts, applying judgment within known operating factors to keep a steady stream of electricity flowing and units within dispatch limits
- Coordinate with maintenance, engineering, and repair technicians to schedule examinations and tests of electrical power distribution machinery and equipment using testing devices, minimizing unplanned outages
- Own tactical operating outcomes for assigned units — availability, safety, and adherence to operating procedures — and resolve issues that exceed a single shift's scope
- Lead outage and emergency call-out procedures, ensuring necessary personnel are mobilized during power outages and that standby generation is monitored for temperature, output, and lubrication
- Review operator logs and inspection findings to identify recurring equipment problems and escalate corrective actions to plant management
- Knowledge applied
- Applies deeper operating knowledge to manage skilled operators or junior supervisors and coordinate testing and outage activity.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Exercises judgment within known operating factors, resolving issues that span shifts and involve maintenance coordination.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Cross-functional cooperation with maintenance, engineering, and repair technicians; leads emergency call-out coordination.
- Typical experience
- 2–5 years in operations team leadership or specialist operator/supervisor roles.
Skills at this level
- Power Generation Operations Supervision
- — Directs shift crews and operators in monitoring, starting up, shutting down, and adjusting boilers, turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment to meet dispatch and load requirements safely.
- People Management
- — Manages operators, technicians, supervisors, external partners, and — at senior levels — other managers, since managing people is the heart of running a power plant across the leadership ladder.
- Regulatory and Safety Compliance
- — Ensures plant operations stay within safe and regulatory limits, verifies work meets OSHA and industry standards, and reports and records safety violations and corrective actions.
- Equipment Testing and Diagnostics Oversight
- — Directs the examination and testing of electrical power distribution machinery and equipment using testing devices to detect and mitigate operating problems before failure.
- Emergency and Outage Response Management
- — Coordinates response to power outages and emergencies — placing standby emergency generators on line, monitoring their temperature, output, and lubrication, and calling in necessary personnel.
- Operating Budget and Production Management
- — Ensures the plant meets energy production needs while staying within a set budget, balancing efficiency, reliability, and cost across the units managed.
- Operations Communication and Coordination
- — Communicates clearly with managers, engineers, and repair technicians to coordinate tasks and give clear instructions on operating procedures, repairs, and emergency response.
- Control Systems Monitoring
- — Uses control room interfaces, SCADA, and distributed control systems (DCS) to monitor plant indicators and generation units and detect evidence of operating problems.
- Cross-Departmental Operations Strategy
- — Provides strategic oversight and cross-departmental coordination across operations, maintenance, engineering, and grid integration to align plant performance with business objectives.
- Regulatory and Stakeholder Negotiation
- — Engages and negotiates with regulators, grid operators, fuel suppliers, and contractors on operating, contractual, and compliance matters affecting plant or fleet performance.
