tunnel kiln operator (EN)

ISCO 8181 · v1.2.1

Tunnel kiln operators control preheating chambers and tunnel kilns to preheat and bake clay products, such as bricks, sewer popes, mosaic, ceramic or quarry tiles. They observe gauges and instruments and adjust by turning valves if necessary. They pull loaded kiln cars in and out of the heaters and move them to a sorting area.

Classification skills are not a measurement of your proficiency or future displaced hours.
