Where a pultrusion machine operator can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a pultrusion machine operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Pultrusion Machine Operators tend, control, and maintain machines which enable the production of composite materials with consistent cross-sections by adding reinforcement fibres such as fibreglass to the existing material and coating the resulting material with resin; this then is pulled through a heated dye where it becomes cured.
Also known as reinforced fibreglass maker, pultrusion process operator, pultruded fibreglass worker, pultrusion operator, pultrusion machine worker, pultrusion process worker, pultruded fibreglass product maker, pultrusion machine operative, thermoplastic process worker, pultruded fibreglass product worker, pultrusion process operative, pultruded fibreglass maker.
