The work

The work

The tasks come from O*NET (United States) and ESCO (Europe), the world's two occupation databases. How the work is done can differ in Uganda; our team adds the local way where it does.

  1. 1

    Read production schedules and work orders to determine processing sequences, furnace temperatures, and heat cycle requirements for objects to be heat-treated.

  2. 2

    Record times that parts are removed from furnaces to document that objects have attained specified temperatures for specified times.

  3. 3

    Adjust controls to maintain temperatures and heating times, using thermal instruments and charts, dials and gauges of furnaces, and colour of stock in furnaces to make setting determinations.
