Yes, Mechanical engineer can work in power plants because mechanical engineer having deep knowledge of fluid machines, steam power plants (applied thermodynamics) & basic electrical engineering, design of boiler. So he can be work at his best efforts to increase overall efficiency of power plant & also can solve problem regarding plant maintenance
He can be work there depending upon his experience
1) Technical Engineer :- Job-- Solution of problems regarding boiler, economizer, superheaters, maintenance (steam power plant) & turbine (Hydroelectric power plant)
2) Design Engineer :- Design of power plant.
3) Plant Manager :- Having authority of making decisions about plant.
