Program Overview


The Power Engineering - Third Class program prepares students to operate and maintain complex industrial systems, including boilers, pumps, and refrigeration systems. The program includes courses in applied mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity, and refrigeration, and prepares students to write the provincial licensing exam. Graduates may find employment in power generation plants, manufacturing plants, and other industrial settings.

Program Outline

Outline:

The Power Engineering - Third Class program builds on the Fourth Class Power Engineering program and prepares students to lead the operation and maintenance of complex systems used in industrial boilers, pumps, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. Students will also be prepared to write the provincial licensing exam.

Careers:

Power engineers operate and maintain reactors, turbines, boilers, generators, stationary engines, and auxiliary equipment to generate electrical power and provide heat, light, refrigeration, and other utility services for commercial, recreational, industrial, and institutional buildings and other work sites. They are employed by power generation plants, electrical power utilities, heavy oil upgraders and gas processing plants, manufacturing plants, mines, hospitals, universities, and government and commercial establishments. In 2022, the wage estimates for power engineers or process operators in Saskatchewan were $27.07-$59.00 per hour, according to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Immigration and Career Training. Employees may earn more or less depending on their employer, location, size of company, level of training, experience, and hours worked.
