Machine Operator
A Machine Operator is the person who keeps the gears of production turning — quite literally. Their job is to set up, operate, and maintain machinery used in manufacturing or industrial settings. Here's a breakdown of what they typically do:
Set up machines at the start of a production cycle, including calibration and cleaning.
Control and adjust machine settings, like speed or temperature, depending on the product being made.
Feed raw materials or parts into semi-automated machines.
Inspect finished parts using precision tools to ensure they meet quality standards.
Troubleshoot and fix minor issues that arise during operation.
Keep detailed records of production output and any defects.
Perform routine maintenance and ensure safety protocols are followed at all times2.
It’s a hands-on role that requires attention to detail, mechanical know-how, and a strong sense of responsibility.
