Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Waterwheel generator assemblers are specialized technicians who assemble, install, adjust, and test-operate waterwheel generators for hydroelectric power plants from the parts stage.
Description
Waterwheel generator assemblers are specialists who assemble water turbines and generator bodies installed in power plants. Following drawings and manufacturing instructions, they fasten major components such as rotors and stators with specified torque and perform precise shaft alignment. They also handle electrical insulation, wiring work, and operation of heavy machinery using cranes and hoists. After completion, they conduct performance tests, vibration measurements, and endurance tests to verify quality. In addition to indoor factories, they may perform installation work, adjustments, and maintenance at power plant sites.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of renewable energy, stable demand is expected for new construction and renewal of hydroelectric power plants. On the other hand, as automation and remote monitoring technologies advance, there will be a need for both advanced assembly skills and ICT literacy.
