Where a filament winding operator can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a filament winding operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Filament winding operators tend, control and maintain machines that coat filament, usually fibreglass or carbon, in resin and wind them around a rotation mould to produce pipes, containers, tubes and other hollow cylindrical products.
Also known as FRP winding machine operator, fiberglass container winding operator, fibreglass container winding operator, filament winder operator, winding machine operative, filament winding machine operator, fibreglass pipe winding operator, fibreglass tank winding operator, GRP pipe winding operator, filament winder operative, fiberglass pipe winding operator, filament winding machine operative.
