instead of "milling machine operator" it could also be "lathe operator" or just "machinist"

Explanation:
You said this was a movie scene, and I am assuming that you may be misheard the word آرپی جی زن as مارپیچ زن. I haven't heard such a word as مارپیچ زن, so I think my assumption may be correct.

Although it is from the script, note that It still can be a mistake madam.
