What is a Rope Access Rigger job?

A Rope Access Rigger is a trained professional who performs rigging, lifting, and mechanical work in hard-to-reach areas using rope access techniques. They use specialized equipment like harnesses, ropes, and anchor systems to safely access structures such as towers, bridges, and offshore platforms. This role requires certification, such as IRATA or SPRAT, and a strong understanding of safety procedures, load handling, and equipment inspection. Rope Access Riggers are commonly employed in industries like construction, oil and gas, and maintenance where traditional access methods are impractical.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Rope Access Rigger position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Rope Access Rigger, you need strong skills in rigging, climbing, and working safely at heights, often underpinned by relevant trade qualifications or technical background. Certification with IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) or SPRAT (Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians), and experience with various rigging equipment and safety systems, are typically required. Attention to detail, teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and clear communication are key soft skills in this position. These attributes ensure the safety and effectiveness of complex access operations in challenging and dynamic environments.

What can I expect from a typical workday as a Rope Access Rigger?

As a Rope Access Rigger, your typical workday involves setting up and maintaining rope systems to access difficult-to-reach locations, performing tasks such as equipment installation, inspection, maintenance, or repairs. You will regularly conduct safety checks, coordinate with other team members, and ensure all rigging complies with strict standards. The role often requires adaptability, as projects may be outdoors, on structures like towers or bridges, or inside industrial facilities. You can also expect to collaborate closely with engineers, supervisors, and safety personnel to ensure efficient and secure operations. Be prepared for physically demanding work, varying site locations, and the need to stay current with industry safety protocols.

Job description

Rope Access & Rigging Professional

Enclos Tensile Structures - Nashville Titans Stadium Project

Enclos Tensile Structures (ETS) is seeking an experienced Rope Access and Rigging Professional to join our team on the Nashville Titans Stadium roof project. This is a long-term, hands-on role on one of the most technically demanding cable-roof builds currently underway in North America.

About the Work

ETS delivers large-scale tensile and cable-supported roof structures throughout North America. Our work involves:

  • Construction of stadium roofs using large-diameter structural cables (up to 140 mm)
  • Uncoiling, positioning, and laying cable systems on the bowl and pitch (field of play)
  • Lifting, positioning, and stressing cables using high-capacity hydraulic lifting systems
  • Complex rigging operations involving cranes, including controlled load transfers from cranes to temporary or permanent support systems
  • High-risk installation activities carried out at height and within active stadium environments

This is not a desk role. The successful candidate will be directly involved in execution.

Role Expectations

  • Perform and supervise rope access and advanced rigging operations
  • Act as a working supervisor, remaining hands-on throughout installation activities
  • Plan and execute complex crane lifts, including sequencing and safe transfer of loads off cranes
  • Operate efficiently in large stadium environments requiring frequent vertical access and long walking distances
  • Uphold high standards of safety, planning, communication, and execution

Required Experience & Qualifications

  • IRATA / SPRAT Level 2 or Level 3 Rope Access certification
  • Minimum 5 years' experience as a rigger and rope access technician
  • Proven experience working with cranes, critical lifts, and load transfers
  • Strong understanding of complex rigging systems and temporary works
  • Experience handling large structural elements such as cables, steel assemblies, or equivalent
  • Capable of sustained work at height and on large structures

Commitment & Location

  • Based in Nashville, Tennessee
  • Full-time commitment through November 2026
  • Non-rotational position - continuous on-site presence is required
  • Opportunity for future roles within ETS beyond this project

Who This Role Suits

This position is suited to a professional who:

  • Is technically strong and safety-focused
  • Is confident leading complex lifts while remaining hands-on
  • Thrives in challenging, large-scale construction environments
  • Can fully commit to a long-term, high-profile project

If you are an experienced rope access and rigging professional looking to contribute to landmark roof construction projects, we would like to hear from you.
