"Universalas" - "all rounder" makes sense. This was a very good point from Inga. Thanks to her too.
Vingre (asker) Jan 26, 2015:
machinist or metalworker Dear Gintautas,
thank you so much for your answers and suggestions and I do agree that "metal machinist" could be acceptible and is a standard term in AU, though it is still more synymous to "turner", which in Lithuanian is described as "tekintojas", and is not exactly the same as "šaltkalvis". That's what makes me undecided. By the way, it seems that "turner" is still in use in UK, at least in some areas: http://www.jobisjob.co.uk/turner/job-description
That's why I better opt for metalworker which seems to convey a broader meaning, as it covers more functions. Thank you once again.
Best,
Ingrida

Vingre, my impression is that the word "turner" is somewhat old-fashioned and not much used any more. "Metal machinist" seems to be the standard term, in Australia at least. I suspect in UK too. Don't know about USA.
Vingre (asker) Jan 26, 2015:
Specified title:Operatorius šaltkalvis universalas It turns out that correct job title was "Operatorius šaltkalvis universalas". I am now wavering between two options, either "operator - universal metalworker" (which seems more general and neutral) or "operator - universal machinist" (though I have come to a conclusion that the latter is more frequent in AU English, and it seems that "machinist" is closer to "turner" as it says that "They may also perform heat treatment processes on metals" while "šalkalvis" does not apply heat treatment in their work).
Any good advice? Thank you.
Vingre (asker) Jan 26, 2015:
machinist - tikrai šaltkalvis (ar tekintojas)? Nors teko aptikti, kad "šaltkalvis" verčiamas "machinist", tačiau pasitikslinau, kad "machinist" - tai "tekintojas", o tai ne vienas ir tas pats. O "operatorius" - vis tik verčiamas kaip "operator", bet nežinau, ar yra toks "universal operator".

Note from asker:
Dear Gintautas, thank you once again for your contribution. Yet, I opted to "metalworker" to avoid confusion as the "machinist" seems to be a closer synonym to "tekintojas". Thank you once again.
Peer comment(s):
agree Inga Jokubauske : tik aš asmeniškai "universal" keisčiau į "all rounder": "Metal Machinist – all rounder“
