Rigging Inspector

You don't need to come to us as a rigging expert.

If you're mechanically inclined, dependable, comfortable working with your hands, and have the judgment to recognize when something doesn't look right, we can teach you the technical inspection skills.

At Continental Chain & Rigging, part of the Hercules Group of Companies, our inspectors help ensure lifting and rigging equipment is safe, compliant, and ready to work. You'll receive hands-on training while building specialized skills in an industry where safety and accuracy matter.

This isn't just a warehouse position. You'll work with industrial equipment, make real pass/fail inspection decisions, use digital inspection technology, and travel to customer sites throughout Alberta.

• Inspect lifting and rigging equipment including web slings, round slings, wire rope slings, chain slings, shackles, plate clamps, and fall protection equipment
• Learn to identify defects, wear, damage, and conditions that determine whether equipment passes, fails, or requires repair
• Perform inspections both in our Edmonton facility and at customer sites
• Complete inspection documentation and certifications using TESSALink on an iPad
• Use measuring tools including tape measures and calipers to verify equipment condition and dimensions
• Assist with light repairs, tagging, and preparation of inspected equipment when required
• Work independently in the shop and alongside another team member during customer-site inspections
• Travel throughout Alberta, primarily between Edmonton and Fort McMurray, including occasional overnight trips — overnight premium paid
