To thrive as a Power Crane Rigger, you need a solid understanding of load calculations, rigging techniques, and safety protocols, often supported by a high school diploma and relevant certifications like NCCCO or OSHA. Familiarity with crane operation systems, rigging hardware, and industry-standard hand signals is essential.

  • Ability to travel 40-50% of the time.
  • NCCCO certification (any applicable discipline) preferred; AEMP, CEMP, or equivalent equipment-management credentials preferred.
  • Crane knowledge - deep working knowledge of crane types (lattice boom crawlers, all-terrain, rough terrain, boom trucks, and tower cranes) and the lift environments each is suited to.
  • Experience - hands-on experience across more than one crane market; a background spanning utility-scale renewable work and at least one of gas generation, data center construction, heavy industrial, or high-voltage transmission is strongly preferred.

HOW WE INVEST IN YOU
  • Competitive pay
  • 100% employer paid HDHP insurance premiums for employees
  • 401(k) with company match
  • HSA and FSA options
