Job description

An industrial construction contractor is adding two rough terrain crane operators to a plant shutdown at a grain and feed processing facility in Marietta, PA. The crane runs around the clock for the outage — one operator on days, one on nights. The machine is a 130-ton Link-Belt RT.

Overview

• Make the picks the outage schedule calls for: pulling and setting equipment, structural steel, and process components inside a live shutdown window
• Perform and document daily crane inspections, and pull the machine out of service when it needs to come out
• Coordinate every lift with site supervision, riggers, and signalpersons
• Hold your shift — 12 hours, days or nights — through 09.08.2026; the other operator relieves you and the crane does not sit
• Work to grain and feed processing protocols: combustible dust control, hot work permits, overhead and confined lifts
