Where a blending plant operator can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a blending plant operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Blending plant operators control equipment to weigh and mix vegetable oils used in products such as salad oil and margarines. They tend pump oils to perform the blending according to specific formulas. They draw off samples of mixed oil to examine its texture and colour and based on that make adjustments to blending processes.
