Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that operates and monitors pump equipment installed in drainage facilities, maintains appropriate water levels, and responds to abnormalities.
Description
Drainage pump operators are responsible for the operation and daily inspections of pump equipment that sends rainwater or sewage to the intended location. They perform control from the operation panel, adjustment of flow rate and pressure, monitoring of measuring instruments, maintenance tasks such as oiling and greasing, stopping operations during abnormalities, and emergency responses. They create inspection records based on regular maintenance plans and carry out repairs or part replacements as necessary. There are also emergency dispatches at night and on holidays, responses to heavy rain during typhoons, and coordination of operation schedules with related departments.
Future Outlook
With measures against infrastructure aging and an increase in localized heavy rains due to climate change, the demand for drainage pump operators is expected to remain stable. While automation and remote monitoring are advancing, human expertise is required for emergency responses and maintenance.
