Selon nous, le mot "opérateur", défini comme une "Personne qui exécute des opérations techniques déterminées, fait fonctionner un appareil", est préférable à celui de "conducteur", qui est défini comme la "Personne qui conduit (un véhicule), en dirige la marche" (Grand Robert 1985). Quant à celui de "traiteur", il n'est attesté dans les dictionnaires que dans le sens de "celui qui prépare des repas, des plats à emporter et à consommer chez soi". 1, record 1, French, - op%C3%A9rateur%20de%20four%20de%20traitement%20thermique
