Industrial Process Operator Program

In a few years, retirements will open scores of jobs at San Juan Generating Station, which is located near Farmington. These are good-paying jobs with potential for long-term career growth and advancement.

To help fill these positions, San Juan Generating Station, operated by PNM, has contributed $600,000 to help establish the Industrial Process Operator Program at San Juan College.

The program trains students to operate the many systems at a power station or in the oil and gas industries. In two years, students can earn an associate's degree and be on their way toward earning $30,000 to $40,000 per year as apprentices in our operations. For example, fully qualified journeymen with four years of experience make about $26 per hour at PNM.
