Morphology

power-station + worker

The noun is fully compositional: 'power-station' denotes a facility that produces electrical power and 'worker' denotes a person employed there, so the combined form straightforwardly denotes a person who works at a power station. This literal, cross-linguistically common compound structure is predictable for learners who know the constituent words.

Etymology

Power-station worker comes from the words power (energy), station (a place that makes something) and worker (a person who works). The image is simple: someone working at the place that makes electricity, so it means 'a person who works at a power station'.
