Biomass Plant Technicians

Employers

Biomass plant technicians work for companies that convert plant or animal matter into renewable energy. Biomass power plants are located throughout the United States, however, many are based in areas where biomass crops are grown because biomass is bulky and can be expensive to transport. Companies such as Reworld Waste LLC, ReEnergy Holdings LLC, and Sierra Pacific Industries employ biomass plant technicians.

Starting Out

Many biomass plant technicians find their first jobs through job postings on professional association Web sites. Biomass power plants also post job openings on their Web sites. School career services offices can provide help with locating internships and job opportunities with biomass companies. An internship is a good way to get a foot in the door, gain valuable experience, and make work-related contacts. Another way to find out about employment opportunities is by attending job fairs, which are often held on school campuses. Some job fairs are also held online.
