• Stop work immediately whenever conditions become unsafe.

• Current CCO Lattice Boom Crawler (LBC) certification
• At least two years of crane-operating experience on land and barges
• Documented drilling, drilled-shaft, casing, auger, or marine foundation experience
• Experience reading load charts and working with construction rigging
