A job that operates and monitors fiber product production equipment such as spinning machines and looms using raw materials like cotton and synthetic fibers to produce products.
Description
Textile equipment operators process fiber raw materials into yarn using spinning machines, weave them into fabric using looms, and perform operations, monitoring, and adjustments at each stage of the textile process.
