Hey guys I got a interview coming up for a relay tech apprentice job with a large utility coming up in a few weeks and want to be better prepared for my background I worked in generation as a operator and have a degree in power plant technology I know a little bit about substation but not much and was wondering what learning materials I should look into I know the basics from my time in generation but that’s about it also what technical questions should I prepare my self for thanks and have a good day.

Hello everyone I have my AAS in power plant technology with 2 years of power plant operations experience and am currently working in HVAC controls and am really wanting to get on a relay technician apprenticeship so my questions are how good would the transition be, how’s the everyday job, would my background be a good fit for the role, and with my background, do I even have a chance at landing the apprenticeship with my background?

So got the brrrt mod and got plenty of mags the 34 round pro mags 16rd and 22rd and was wondering if it’s okay to leave them loaded for a long period bc man these things suck to load and they’re gone in a second and they are pretty pricey so don’t wanna ruin the reliability of the mags

Hello finally was able to order one from Psa it’s the toro model with a red dot, already got my brrrt switch and was wondering if I need to run a rate reducer for right now as I’m not going to be running suppressed yet really just wanna know how I can get consistent reliability i’m going to be running CCI 22lr ar tactical ammo

Hello everyone I’m taking my bmst for constellation at the end of the week (already taken my poss) for a nlo position. I got a few questions how’s the work culture, how’s the turnover, if I get the job and get the choice would operating unit 1 (BWR-2) or unit 2 (BWR-5) be better, how’s the ot and work life balance and do they offer relocation assistance.
I have over 2 years in fossil fuel generation operations experience with a large utility so I’m used to operations culture and working 500+ hrs of ot a year regularly. My end goal is to be a SRO and maybe eventually be a licensed instructor if that’s what they want me to do in the future. I got to bypass the phone screen interview so I didn’t get to ask any questions. Thank yall

So I’m taking the bmst and am currently studying up on all subjects as it’s been a few years since college I’ve already passed my poss with another company and the bmst is the only thing in the way of my dream career to transfer from fossil generation to nuclear generation. I’m wondering what the cut off score is and really how much room for error there is like if I miss 20 out of 90 questions is that a fail? Just trying to get a feel for it all info and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hello I’ve already taken my POSS test with a previous company and am recommended and am looking into taking the BMST but found no study material was wondering for those who have previously taken it what did you use as a study guide and any tips and tricks? Also did yall find the POSS or BMST harder? Only asking cause the poss was pretty easy but the time limit sucks butt so I’m wondering which one you struggled with the most?

Hi guys just wanting some different insight on the process. My background is a 2 year degree in power plant technology and over 2 years of fossil fuel generation operations experience. I applied for the job back in feb and got offered to take the poss in late march and had a panel interview 5-8 the interview went good The technical question was how does a PWR power plant produce power and I broke down the primary side and secondary side went over flow path and what major equipment is doing. I emailed the recruiter for a up 2 weeks ago and it took awhile for them to reach back but they said they’re still interviewing and hoping for more of a update next week (talking about last week) and I haven’t heard anything. I’m just curious about the process and usually how long it takes to hear back with a rejection or offer and classes start sometime in July.

So I have a AAS degree in power plant technology and over 2 years of fossil fuel power plant operations experience as a Equipment Operator/ Auxiliary Operator as well as a operations internship. I’ve already passed my POSS I’m just curious on how my resume goes up against other applicants like ones with engineering degrees/navy nukes really just want to know what they value more (aside from navy nukes) thank yall and stay safe

So I recently had a interview for nlo about 2 weeks ago I come from a fossil fuel generation operations background and have a degree in power plant technology and am trying to transition to nuclear operations. I passed my POSS test and I feel like the interview went really well answered my behavioral questions really well and when he “asked how does a nuclear pwr plant make power ” I broke down the primary side and secondary side flow path of both sides and major equipment and what they are doing and got very good reactions from the panel and I felt like it was a overall good interview I asked questions about how do they start up with no aux steam cause they are a single unit plant and then went into how our aux boilers are crap (my plant had a aux boiler too) Wanted to ask more questions but didn’t want to seem like I was trying to show off knowledge. I’m at the waiting stage now and it’s killing me to know if I got it but still too soon to know I sent a email to the recruiter just to keep my name fresh and haven’t gotten a update yet which i expected but I don’t know if I’m working my self up for nothing and worried about internal hires the class is a medium sized nlo class

So I recently got a offer and am filling out the PHQ and gotta question for the past 6 months I’ve been doing independent contract work for a buddy and it’s on and off about every other weekend if that do I put that on my employment history? It was cash pay and really have no documentation to prove it other then my buddy’s phone number. Also do I list all criminal misdemeanors that were dropped? I don’t wanna leave anything out but don’t wanna say something I don’t have too. I also used to smoke weed in college and had my med card been clean for 3 years And also how do the reference calls work? I heard that they’ll call them ask the questions then ask the reference for another reference and a lot of my references are from my supervisors and ex co workers but they can’t give references due to company policy. And does anyone have any experience with the psychological evaluation?

Just for background I got a degree in power plant technology and over 2 years of fossil fuel generation ops experience and I have a opportunity to get hired on at Callaway nuclear power plant in Missouri and I would be moving 5 hrs away from home I was just seeing if anyone’s worked for ameren because I have limited knowledge on the company as it’s not one of the bigger energy companies any info on the pay, culture, training or if it’s a good company to go with.
