While "little languages" have a long and honored tradition, perhaps in today's day and age it would be simpler to create a module and/or some glue code for an existing scripting language, and perhaps teach the operators just a strict subset of that language. Implementing the language itself is also a lot easier in a reasonably high-level language. My suggestions would be to look at Python, Perl, or Lua, perhaps roughly in that order; if you have another scripting language which you and/or your operators are already familiar with, include that in the list, too.
