What is a CDL rigger?

CDL Riggers are skilled professionals who operate heavy machinery and vehicles, such as cranes and trucks, to move, lift, and transport large or heavy loads. They hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and are trained in rigging techniques to ensure loads are secured and moved safely. Their work is essential in construction, manufacturing, and other industries that require the transportation of oversized or heavy equipment. CDL Riggers must follow strict safety protocols and often work as part of a team to coordinate complex lifting and transport operations.

What is the difference between Cdl Rigger vs Crane Operator?

Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, industrial settingsConstruction sites, heavy lifting environments
Industry UsageConstruction, shipping, industrial projectsConstruction, shipping, infrastructure projects

Both Cdl Rigger and Crane Operator roles often require CDL licenses and work in construction or industrial environments. While riggers focus on attaching loads and ensuring safety during lifting, crane operators handle the operation of cranes. These roles are complementary and often work together on the same projects, but their specific skills and certifications differ slightly.

What challenges do CDL riggers face when coordinating heavy equipment moves on job sites?

CDL Riggers often encounter challenges such as navigating tight spaces, ensuring proper load securement, and maintaining constant communication with other crew members to execute safe lifts and transports. The role requires a strong understanding of rigging techniques, safety protocols, and the ability to quickly adapt to changing site conditions. Effective collaboration with crane operators, site supervisors, and other trades is essential to ensure that all equipment moves are completed efficiently and without incident.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a CDL rigger?

To thrive as a CDL Rigger, you need a valid Commercial Driver's License (CDL), knowledge of rigging techniques, and experience with heavy equipment operation and load securement. Familiarity with rigging hardware, load charts, and OSHA safety protocols, along with certifications like NCCCO or Rigging and Signalperson credentials, are typically required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills help ensure safe and efficient operations on job sites. These skills and qualifications are vital to prevent accidents, maintain compliance, and ensure successful completion of lifting and transport tasks.

This role involves tearing down transformers, stacking steel, operating forklifts, loading and tying down trucks, and assisting with warehouse duties. In addition, our team frequently hauls OD/OW (oversized/overweight) loads, so the ideal candidate must be comfortable with this type of driving and work.

  • Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen and physical abilities test.
  • Willingness and ability to travel to out-of-state job sites.
  • Self-motivated and capable of completing tasks without direct supervision.
  • Strong team player with a positive attitude.
  • Safety-related training (MSHA, OSHA 10 & 30) preferred, but training can be provided.
  • Forklift certification a plus.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive and transport transformers, components, and OD/OW loads.
  • Rigging equipment and working closely with the crew to complete assignments.
  • Tear down and cut transformers to clear out contents.
  • Lift, stack, and organize steel.
  • Operate forklifts to load and unload trucks.
  • Assist with warehouse duties as needed.
  • Travel to both local and out-of-state jobsites, working over the road and on-site.
