Käitaja

Käitaja is an Estonian word that translates to operator or handler in English. It refers to an individual who is responsible for the operation, management, or control of something. This could be a machine, a system, a process, or even a facility. The specific context in which "käitaja" is used determines the precise nature of their responsibilities.

For example, in an industrial setting, a käitaja might be the person who operates a specific piece of machinery, ensuring it functions correctly and safely. In a technical context, a käitaja could be responsible for managing a computer system or network. More broadly, the term can also be applied to someone who handles or manages a particular task or operation, like a construction site käitaja overseeing the workflow. The core idea remains consistent: a person actively engaged in making something function or managing its ongoing state. The term implies a degree of knowledge and responsibility for the entity being operated.
