Job description

Role & responsibilities

1. Daily Operations & Logistics

Execute Lift Movements: Run single or twin-cage rack-and-pinion hoists smoothly using joystick or push-button VFD control panels.

Manage Site Logistics: Coordinate with various floor supervisors via intercom, two-way radio, or clear hand signaling systems to optimize wait times.

Control Traffic Flow: Supervise the orderly loading and unloading of personnel, tools, and raw materials (such as cement bags, blocks, and steel).

Maintain Operator Logs: Record daily usage charts, material trip tallies, shift handovers, and any mechanical irregularities in the official logbook.

2. Safety Enforcement & Load Management

Enforce Load Limits: Calculate total payload weight to strictly prevent the cage from exceeding its rated legal capacity (typically 1.0 to 2.0 tons).

Verify Load Balance: Ensure loose materials, heavy tools, and hardware are centered, stabilized, and secured before starting vertical travel.

Secure Cage Closures: Confirm all mechanical door locks and electrical gate interlocks are completely sealed before initiating movement.

Monitor Environmental Hazards: Suspend all operation immediately if wind speeds exceed safe limits (typically 60 km/h) or during heavy lightning storms.

3. Preventive Inspection & Maintenance Assistance

Conduct Pre-Shift Audits: Complete daily safety checklists monitoring the emergency stop buttons, backup brakes, and operational limit switches.

Perform Basic Maintenance: Keep the hoist cage floor, guide rollers, and base station enclosure free of concrete debris and trash.

Assist Engineering Crews: Report all abnormal sounds, jerky movements, or VFD fault alarms immediately to the technical maintenance team.

Preferred candidate profile

Technical Familiarity: Practical understanding of rack-and-pinion drive units, VFD controls, and progressive safety devices.

Spatial Awareness: Strong ability to accurately judge floor alignments and handle heavy materials safely within confined settings.

Communication: Clear verbal coordination skills to direct construction crews and manage high-stress site traffic.

Physical Stamina: Fitness to work inside an open or semi-enclosed cage for extended shifts under varying weather conditions.

Education, Experience, & Certifications

Experience: Minimum 2 to 5 years of proven experience operating dual-purpose/passenger hoists on large-scale commercial or residential projects.

Certification: Valid Hoist Operator License or Third-Party Competency Certificate issued by a certified industrial safety body.

Education: High school diploma, secondary education, or vocational ITI training is generally preferred.

Safety Training: Comprehensive knowledge of local site safety laws (e.g., BOCW Rules in India or OSHA guidelines internationally).
