• Work hands‑on with forklifts, cranes, skates, jacks, and rigging gear
• Plan lifts, give direction, and make sure work is done safely
• Load, move, set, and align machines and equipment
• Read and follow lift plans, drawings, and layouts
• Fill out basic job paperwork and talk with customers as needed
• Travel to different job sites when required

Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:

• 1–3 years rigging, machinery moving, or machinery installation experience
• 2+ years leading a crew or working as a foreman
