Job description

Meyer Utility Structures, an Arcosa subsidiary, is searching for a Production / Overhead Crane Operator for our location in Fort Pierce, FL.  The Production / Overhead Crane Operator role manages heavy lifting and movement of precast concrete components, steel cages, and structural molds, and assists in production activities to ensure efficient manufacturing of precast concrete poles and related components. The ideal candidate ensures production lines run efficiently while strictly adhering to safety standards (e.g., OSHA, ASME B30.2) in a fast-paced, high-demand tubular concrete manufacturing facility.

Meyer Utility Structures, an Arcosa subsidiary, is an industry leader in the engineering design and fabrication of concrete, lattice, and tubular steel structures for transmission, distribution, and substation applications. With over sixty years of innovative engineering and manufacturing expertise, Meyer has helped to author and validate many of today’s transmission industry standards and specifications.

What You’ll Do:

  • Safely operate remote-controlled gantry cranes or overhead bridge cranes to lift, transport, and position heavy materials such as concrete forms, steel cages, and finished products
  • Inspect loads and rigging equipment to ensure safe lifting within rated capacities
  • Control load movement to prevent swinging, sudden stops, or unsafe positioning
  • Perform pre-shift and post-shift inspections of crane equipment (wire ropes, hooks, brakes, and limit switches)
  • Report equipment issues and assist with routine preventative maintenance
  • Assist in the fabrication of concrete poles, including forming, pouring, demolding, finishing, and assembly
  • Support operations by staging materials for production, including steel, molds, and concrete components
  • Load, unload, and move raw and finished materials throughout the facility
  • Assist with mold setup, stripping, cleaning, and resetting for production cycles
  • Stack, band, label, and stage finished products for storage or shipment
  • Operate forklifts and other mobile equipment as needed
  • Work closely with production, yard, and maintenance teams to support workflow and minimize downtime
  • Follow production schedules and instructions to meet daily output goals
  • Participate in inventory counts and material tracking
  • Maintain clean, organized, and safe work areas in accordance with plant standards

What You’ll Need:

  • 1–3 years of experience operating overhead cranes in a manufacturing, precast, or heavy industrial environment preferred
  • Valid NCCCO Overhead Crane Certification (or ability to obtain within 90 days)
  • Basic understanding of manufacturing and production processes
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, load charts, and work instructions
  • Strong communication skills (verbal, radio, and hand signals)
  • Basic math skills and ability to read a tape measure
  • Ability to work overtime, weekends, and in varying weather conditions
  • Ability to stand, walk, bend, and perform repetitive movements throughout the shift
  • Ability to lift and move materials up to 50 lbs
  • Good depth perception, coordination, and situational awareness
