After the training, you will become an important part of a shift team consisting of just over 25 people, all of whom have different roles in the work. The shift teams are responsible for the operational management and supervision of the Ringhals facility, and together you ensure that the facility produces electricity in all weather conditions. You will work according to a rotating shift schedule where the shifts are evenly distributed between morning, afternoon, and night. During a shift period, you will work both weekdays and weekends, and the period ends with a longer break.

Your tasks as a process operator include, among others:
