Italian term

operatore esterno

Italian to English Bus/Financial Other job title
This seems to be a specific job title judging by the amount of job adverts on Google, but I am struggling to find a definition. The sentence it appears in follows: "Successivamente [he performed] varie mansioni di operatore esterno con un periodo in cui ha lavorato al travaso dei carri ed al riempimento delle cisterne.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 contract/temporary worker
2 off-site employee/workman

Teresa Valaer Oct 31, 2011:
If Chiara is correct, you could say "temp" workers.
Chiara Martini Oct 31, 2011:
Unfotunately I don't know how to say it in English. I understand he is not an employee but a sort of a freelancer (because of "esterno"), who was hired only for a short period of time.

agree DrSeuss : I agree with "contract worker"; the term does not seem to refer to the nature of the appointment (temporary/permanent).

off-site employee/workman

is this related to the construction industry? in this case it sounds like someone that rather than working on the main construction is employed on some off-site tasks
Note from asker:
No it's not contruction as far as I can tell - the jobs performed are those in the original sentence, which seem to take place in some sort of plant.
