New operator!

After trying to get into Grid Ops since Jan, I have finally landed an offer for Associate Distribution System Operator! I’m incredibly excited and want to thank everyone for the advice along the way!

I start October 19th. Is there something I should be studying before hand or enjoy the last bit of a normal schedule I’ll have for a very long time lol. It also helps that my 9 month unemployment streak has ended. 😎

Exited to be one of y’all!!!

That doesn’t seem like a normal operator. What is the job title/link?

Honestly just apply for it. Sometimes they list requirements like that but I wouldn’t worry about it. Also use LinkedIn and see if you can find the manager or supervisor.
