You need to tour a wastewater treatment plant sometime. There are numerous huge tanks with lots of pumps and machinery in constant operation. Someone needs to monitor the chemicals added and the flow into and out of the tanks all the time and make adjustments as needed.

Much of it is automated, but as with any system, someone knowledgeable has to be there to see that things are running as they should and know what to do if something fails. Maintaining equipment and keeping the "product" flowing and proper disposal of the residue is a 24/7 job. And of course the reports required for this line of work are considerable.
