Job description

Rigpoint Ltd. | Southern Alberta | Full-Time

Good operators have options. Here’s why the right one should consider Rigpoint.

We are building a crew of people who work hard, take pride in their trade and can be trusted when the pressure is on. We are looking for a Crane Operator who brings skill, professionalism and a team-first attitude to the job—someone who is confident in their abilities, humble enough to keep learning and always willing to work alongside the crew.

At Rigpoint, operating the crane is only part of the job. When you are out of the cab, you will be rigging, loading, helping the crew and doing what is needed to finish the job safely and properly.

No task is beneath the team, and no team member is above the work.

If you are the kind of person who shows up prepared, looks after the equipment and takes responsibility for your work—even when no one is watching—you may be exactly who we are looking for.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Journeyperson Crane Operator or registered apprentice


• Dependable, punctual and ready to work


• Humble, professional and respectful


• Calm and capable when plans change or pressure builds


• Willing to accept direction, ask questions and continue learning


• Comfortable getting out of the cab and completing hands-on work


• Able to work independently without losing sight of the team


• Committed to safe work—not simply checking boxes


• Willing to take ownership of mistakes and help find practical solutions


• Available for overtime, weekends and extended shifts when the work requires it


• Proud of keeping equipment, vehicles and worksites clean and properly maintained

What You’ll Be Doing

• Inspecting, setting up and safely operating crane equipment


• Completing daily equipment inspections, FLHAs, logbooks and required documentation


• Rigging, lifting, moving and placing loads safely and efficiently


• Confirming load information, crane configuration and site conditions before lifting


• Recognizing hazards and following company, customer and worksite safety requirements


• Communicating clearly with riggers, signallers, supervisors, customers and other trades


• Assisting with rigging, loading, unloading, cleanup and general site duties


• Caring for company equipment, tools and vehicles as though they were your own


• Stepping in wherever needed to help the crew safely finish the job


• Representing Rigpoint with professionalism at every worksite

The Kind of Person Who Succeeds Here

You do not need to know everything on your first day. You do need to be willing to listen, learn and put in an honest day’s work.

We respect operators who know their trade but never believe they are above the crew. We value people who keep their word, take responsibility and understand that trust is earned through consistent actions.

We are not looking for someone who simply wants another seat in a crane. We are looking for someone who wants to become an important part of a dependable and growing team.
