machineman
Runs the machinery
A machineman is a worker who operates machinery, particularly in printing, manufacturing, or industrial settings.
The term is largely historical, from an era when operating heavy equipment was a specialized trade: The machineman adjusted the press before the morning run.
In theatrical contexts, a machineman operates stage machinery for scene changes and effects.
