Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Operatore meccanico
Italian term or phrase: Operatore meccanico
I'm trying to understand if this is best translated as "machine operator" or "mechanical operator". "Machine operator" I believe is soeone who sets up machines and make sure they work properly. Does "meccanico" as an adjective work in this way in Italian?
