Must be a "sparky" they never get dirty in power plants ;)
 
Never heard that term before, but hydros and gas plants are pretty clean. Irregardless I'm an office person - generation dispatcher - we just get sent to plants from time to time for training and simply need the steel toes to be on the premise.
 
"Sparkies" are generally electricians and/or electrical engineers. I expect a dispatcher is probably a "sparkie" to some.

I agree hydros and gas plants are usually very clean, the operators have a lot of time on their hands and generally management sets the expectation that the place will be kept clean. Biomass and coal plants take a Sisyphean effort to keep clean and many staffs just give up and live with the dirt and grime (which is bad approach as coal and biomass dust had an annoying habit of burning or blowing up.).
