Job description

#JOBALERT | CONTRACT | CERTIFIED CRANE OPERATOR [TLL] | HOSPITAL EXPANSION | FORT WORTH, TX

A national general contractor is adding a certified crane operator to a hospital expansion project in Fort Worth, TX. The work is running a 65-ton Grove rough terrain crane on an active healthcare campus.

  • $42.00/hour
  • ~3 months | up to 6 days/week, 10-hour shifts (50-60 hours/week)
  • Requires NCCCO (CCO) certification with TLL endorsement
  • Start date: 08.31.2026
  • Local Dallas-Fort Worth operators preferred

Overview

  • Run a 65-ton Grove rough terrain crane and stay inside the load chart on every pick
  • Set up each pick — outrigger position and cribbing, counterweight, boom configuration, radius, and load chart check before the load leaves the ground
  • Work a tight, occupied campus: limited swing room, restricted lay-down, picks adjacent to live hospital operations and public traffic
  • Perform and document daily crane inspections, and shut the machine down when it needs it
  • Coordinate every lift with the site superintendent, riggers, and signalperson
  • Hold the schedule for the length of the run — up to six 10-hour days a week for roughly three months

Preferred Skills/Experiences

  • NCCCO (CCO) certification with TLL endorsement, current and unexpired — required
  • Rough terrain crane time at 60 tons and up, Grove or equivalent — required
  • OSHA 10 — preferred
  • Current DOT medical card — preferred
  • Tight-site and occupied-campus experience — healthcare, institutional, or downtown commercial — strongly preferred
  • Steady work history with crane and rigging houses or commercial GCs — strongly preferred
  • Based within daily driving distance of Fort Worth — preferred
