English translation: frontal forklift operator

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:cariste FT
English translation:frontal forklift operator

Bus/Financial - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Job titles/qualifications (Belgian text)
French term or phrase: cariste FT
PLEASE NOTE, French (Belgium) to EN (Ireland and UK). I think this usage is quite specific to Belgium -- nothing much on the internet to go on.

"[...] les profils plus qualifiés (caristes RT, HT, FT), [...]"

cariste = forklift operator

I can't supply any more context due to confidentiality, apart from the fact that my text relates to temporary work (travail intérimaire).

I am asking questions for RT, HT and FT separately. I don't know if the abbreviations refer to job titles or the qualifications required, or possibly even something else (maybe even part-time and full-time?).
