operario pesadas menores/pesadas mayores
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Manufacturing
glass production
Job description taken from a collective bargaining agreement signed between a Spanish glass production plant and its workers.
Not a lot in the way of context and no job descriptions whatsoever. The job titles (most of them heavily abbreviated) featured at the end of the document are proving to be an absolute nightmare.
There are a couple of more detailed references to "pesadas" earlier in the text:
"Serán oficiales de segunda (operarios) los mezcladores a cargo de puente grua y pesadas mayores...".
and...
"Los operarios de composición (pesadas menores), grapadora, de pantalla... serán peones especialistas".
Any input appreciated!
