Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.)
French term or phrase: fibreur
The document describes processes and tasks/activities carried out in a glass manufacturing plant. I can't find "fibreur" online or in dictionaries. I'm guessing it is the position held by a worker carrying out part of the production process, based on the context (see below).

fiber maker
Explanation:
I'd call it fiber maker, even this term is mostly used for fiber making companies. Too much hits for being able to distinguish the rare sites, where the staff is subjected.

Reference: fiber making process

Reference information:
The fiber making process begins by creating "preforms" of glass on proprietary vapor deposition lathes, with chemistry controlled so precisely that contaminant levels are measured in parts per billion. These preforms are sintered into a solid, dense, transparent glass and subsequently drawn into coated optical fiber the diameter of a human hair, with dimensional precision at the one-micron level. Additional manufacturing steps test the fiber for strength at 100,000 pounds per square inch and fully measure its optical performance before shipment to customers.
