What are Turnaround Riggers?

Turnaround Riggers are skilled tradespeople responsible for setting up and moving heavy equipment and materials during plant shutdowns, maintenance, or turnaround projects, especially in industries like oil & gas, petrochemical, or manufacturing.

To thrive as a Turnaround Rigger, you need strong knowledge of rigging techniques, load calculations, and lifting procedures, often supported by relevant rigging certifications and safety training. Familiarity with rigging hardware, cranes, hoists, and adherence to OSHA or industry-specific safety standards is essential. Attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for ensuring tasks are performed safely and efficiently. These skills are vital for minimizing risks, preventing accidents, and maintaining productivity in high-stakes industrial turnaround environments.
