Job description

Overview

Launching Gantry Operator

Position Overview

A Launching Gantry Operator is responsible for operating specialized launching gantry cranes used in bridge and viaduct construction. These machines place heavy precast segments from above, especially in areas with difficult terrain or limited ground access. The operator ensures safe lifting, precise placement, equipment inspection, coordination with ground crews, and adherence to strict safety standards.

What you will be doing

Key Responsibilities

  • Operation of Launching Gantry Equipment
    • Operate the launching gantry to lift, move, and accurately position precast bridge segments along girders and piers.
    • Manipulate controls to regulate speed, direction, and hoist movement according to written, verbal, or signal instructions.
    • Conduct segment placement in spanbyspan, incremental launching, or balancedcantilever erection methods as required by project design.
  • Inspection, Maintenance & PreOperational Checks
    • Perform daily inspections of structural components, hoisting systems, cables, hydraulic systems, electrical elements, and safety mechanisms.
    • Address wear, corrosion, or damage immediately to ensure safe operation.
    • Complete routine maintenance tasks and maintain accurate logs of operations and maintenance activities.
  • Load Management & Safety Control
    • Calculate and verify correct load distribution to prevent structural overload and ensure system stability.
    • Interpret load charts and technical documents to determine optimal lifting configurations.
    • Identify and report hazards, equipment malfunctions, and unsafe conditions immediately.
  • Communication & Coordination
    • Coordinate with ground personnel using radios, hand signals, or established communication protocols.
    • Monitor environmental factors such as wind, weather, and site constraints in real time.
  • Documentation & Compliance
    • Maintain operational, safety, load, and maintenance records.
    • Ensure full compliance with project safety standards, regulatory requirements, and engineering specifications.
    What we are looking for

    Required Qualifications

    • Experience operating heavy lifting equipment such as gantry or launching cranes.
    • Ability to read technical manuals, load charts, blueprints, and engineering drawings.
    • Certification as a gantry or crane operator (e.g., NCCCO or equivalent)
    • Strong understanding of crane safety, load physics, and construction site operations.
    • Physical fitness and ability to work in demanding outdoor and elevated environments.

    Preferred Skills

    • Prior work experience in bridge, viaduct, or segmental construction projects.
    • Familiarity with spanbyspan, incremental launching, and balancedcantilever erection systems.
    • Troubleshooting and basic mechanical repair capabilities.

    Work Environment

    Launching gantry operators typically work:

    • On elevated bridge piers and long spans where ground access is limited.
    • In conditions demanding precision, safety awareness, and continuous coordination.

    In environments requiring careful control of heavy loads and adherence to strict construction schedules.

    * Must be able to pass pre access D&A testing requirements.

    Why work for us

    Some of the benefits you may be eligible for as an employee are:

    • Comprehensive compensation package and paid time off program
    • Industry leading 401(k)/RRSP
