What does a concrete batch plant operator do?
Contemporary concrete plants and innovations have been made more complicated the plant operator’s job. However, reduced the demand for physical labor and improved the batching accuracy, efficiency and versality of the avarage plant.
Qualification of the operator should be based on knowledge of the basic of concrete and the proper operation of the equipment.
