machine operator
Runs industrial equipment
A machine operator is a person who runs machinery, typically in manufacturing, construction, or industrial settings.
The term covers everything from factory workers controlling assembly-line equipment to specialists operating heavy machinery like cranes or forklifts.
The machine operator noticed the press was jamming and shut it down.
The role emphasizes hands-on control rather than repair or design.
