Hi there

Welcome to RootsChat.

You don't say where this occupation took place or exactly when, but I'll suggest it might be oil seed crushing. Here's a link ...

Almeroth, Germany (probably Hessen). Mawer, Softley, Johnson, Lancaster, Tatum, Bucknall (E.Yorks, Nfk, Lincs)

If it was in Scotland, there used to be some oil extraction from shale around that time
