Crane and Rigging Coordinator

Play an integral role in the safe and successful execution of complex industrial construction projects by coordinating crane, rigging, lifting, and heavy equipment activities in the field. As a Crane and Rigging Coordinator, you will provide hands‑on construction leadership, ensuring lifting operations are properly planned, resourced, coordinated, and executed in alignment with project schedules, safety requirements, quality expectations, and construction priorities.

Working directly at the project site, you will coordinate forepersons, rigging personnel, crane operations, and supporting construction disciplines while maintaining close alignment with construction management, engineering, HSE, logistics, and project teams. Your leadership will directly influence lifting safety, workforce productivity, equipment utilization, schedule performance, and successful project delivery.

The Crane and Rigging Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and overseeing crane and rigging activities within assigned areas of an industrial construction project. This role provides field leadership for scheduling, workface planning, workforce allocation, lifting activities, productivity, HSE performance, apprentice development, cost awareness, and quality execution.

You will help translate construction priorities into executable field plans, coordinate crane and rigging resources, and ensure work crews have the direction and support required to perform safely and productively. Through strong field leadership and collaboration, you will help maintain efficient construction flow while supporting the safe movement, lifting, positioning, and installation of equipment and materials.
