What is an overhead job?

Overhead jobs refer to roles within a company that do not directly contribute to the production of goods or services but are essential for supporting the organization’s operations. Examples include administrative staff, human resources, accounting, IT support, and management positions. These roles help ensure that the business runs smoothly, manages resources effectively, and complies with regulations. Overhead jobs are necessary for companies to function efficiently, even though their costs are not tied to specific products or services.

What are the common responsibilities in overhead cost management?

Professionals managing overhead costs are typically responsible for tracking, analyzing, and optimizing indirect expenses such as utilities, rent, administrative salaries, and office supplies. They collaborate closely with department heads to identify cost-saving opportunities and ensure budgets align with organizational goals. A key challenge in this role is balancing cost control with the need to maintain efficient operations and employee satisfaction. Regular reporting, data analysis, and process improvement initiatives are central to their weekly tasks.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Overhead Line Technician?

To thrive as an Overhead Line Technician, you need a solid understanding of electrical systems, power line installation, and safety protocols, often supported by a high school diploma and specialized technical training. Familiarity with climbing gear, bucket trucks, and industry-standard safety equipment is essential, and certifications such as OSHA or NCCER are often required. Attention to detail, teamwork, and strong problem-solving skills help technicians excel in high-risk, physically demanding environments. These competencies are vital to ensure the safe, efficient maintenance of electrical infrastructure and minimize service interruptions.

What is the difference between Overhead vs Electrician?

AspectOverheadElectrician

Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, maintenance projects, industrial settingsResidential, commercial, industrial electrical systems
Industry UsageOverhead costs, project planning, and managementElectrical installation, repair, and maintenance

Overhead roles focus on managing costs, planning, and administrative tasks related to projects, often in construction or industrial settings. Electricians perform hands-on electrical work, requiring specific licenses and certifications. While both are involved in construction and industrial industries, their responsibilities and credentials differ significantly.

Job description

WE ARE GROWING!  COME JOIN A NEW TEAM IN OUR NEW LOCATION IN CLINTON, IL

Meyer Utility Structures is searching for Overhead Crane Operators for our Clinton, IL location.  As an Overhead Crane Operator, you’ll be responsible for the safe and precise operation of an overhead crane to lift, move, and position heavy materials, such as steel plates, beams, and components, within a fabrication environment. This role is critical to maintaining production workflow and ensuring all safety protocols are strictly followed. 

Meyer Utility Structures 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 cranes, hoists and other lifting devices to move materials according to work orders, verbal instructions or hand signals
  • Conduct daily pre-shift inspections of the crane and rigging equipment (slings, chains, hooks, etc.) to ensure proper working conditions, identify defects or malfunctions, and report them immediately to a supervisor
  • Observe load hook-up, determine the safety and balance of the load, and ensure proper rigging techniques are used to prevent accidents and material damage
  • Load and unload trucks, stage products, and move raw materials and finished parts to appropriate areas for cutting, welding, assembly, or shipping
  • Communicate effectively with floor personnel, riggers, welders, and other departments (e.g., final inspection) using two-way radios or standard signals to coordinate lifts and ensure smooth operations
  • Maintain accurate logs of crane operations, movements, inventory adjustments, and maintenance reports
  • Strictly follow all OSHA regulations, company safety protocols, and industry standards

What You'll Need:

  • Prior experience operating overhead cranes in an industrial or manufacturing setting is required
  • Strong understanding of crane operations, load limits, rigging techniques, and safety procedures
  • High attention to detail and precision is crucial for safe load placement and identifying potential hazards
  • Ability to judge distances and maneuver loads in confined spaces to avoid collisions.
  • Ability to work in a physically demanding environment requiring prolonged standing, crouching, and the ability to lift objects up to 50 pounds
  • An overhead crane certification and OSHA certification are preferred

Compensation and Benefits:

Meyer Utility Structures is proud to offer competitive benefits and programs to help you and your family meet your healthcare and retirement planning needs. The various benefits offered to employees based on eligibility may include:

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Paid Vacation and Sick Time
  • 401k with Employer Match
