control panel operator

Explanation:
conducteur is operator in many cases. Switchboard usually applies to "appareillage/tableau de commutation (not specified here). Console is usually "pupitre" (whether de commande or not...). My suggestion is a mix of "conducteur" and "tableau" both from westinghouse/framatome in-house lexicon.

If it's good enough for oil refineries, I reckon it should be good enough for nuclear facilities.
