Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial

English term or phrase: operatives

XXX, Mechanical Training Instructor for YYY, shared his skills, knowledge and expertise with ZZZ as part of training courses which were held in Antwerp, Belgium. At the end of the two days course every delegate had achieved the ECTIB bolting certification, which focuses on hand torquing, hydraulic torquing and bolt tensioning.
XXX said: “The ZZZ operatives were already highly skilled in mechanical services but they all appreciated the opportunity to attain a globally recognised industry certification. Working to these high standards helps improve safety and service delivery which benefits the individual, wider business and customers.”

Was kann denn da genau gemeint sein? "Operatives" als Bezeichnung habe ich so noch nie gehört. Wohl aber "operator". Der Text stammt aus Schottland, der Begriff "operatives" für Personen taucht mmer wieder auf und scheint kein (oberflächlicher) Tippfehler zu sein.

Maschinenführer

Explanation:
Bin zwar mehr für Bernd Runges Antwort "Facharbeitskraft", möchte diesen der Vollständigkeit halber noch eingeben, weil man ihn oft für solche Kräfte in Stellenausschreibungen findet; vgl. hierzu google-Suche.
Maschinist, Maschinenarbeiter ist m.E. antiquiert und nur noch in einzelnen Branchen üblich bzw. für niedere Arbeiten

Noch zu Fachpersonal: Halte ich hier nicht für angemessen, weil es "Fachkräfte" einschließt, die bereits eine dreijährige Lehre erfolgreich absolviert haben, den in Frage stehenden also weit überlegen sein müssten. Bei "Facharbeitskräften" dagegen würde man die Messlatte wohl nicht so hoch anlegen.
