Where a metal rolling mill operator can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a metal rolling mill operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Metal rolling mill operators set up and tend metal rolling mills designed to form metal workpieces into their desired shape by passing them through one or several pairs of rolls in order to decrease the metal's thickness and to make it homogeneous. They also take into account the proper temperature for this rolling process.
Also known as powder mill operator, rolling mill control operator, steel mill operative, metal rolling mill operative, stopper grinder, hammer mill operative, steel rolling mill technician, hammer mill operator, hammer mill technician, grinder mill operator, grinder mill operative, metal rolling mill technician.
