## About the role

Starbase is standing up on-site power generation for the Starbase supercomputer. This boilermaker role builds the plate, duct, and tank side of that plant. You fit, align, and weld turbine exhaust duct, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) casings and stack shell, and aqueous ammonia tanks. Where the steam side is set, you also install HRSG or steam-generator casing, modules, and pressure parts so the packages can be tied in and tested.
