Tower Crane Operator Trainee; MK

We're looking for someone to own the operations and run one of our Liebherr MK140s. It's a state-of-the-art, computer-driven machine, and it drives our production. You'll train alongside our lead tower crane operator for the first few months, then it's your crane. You'll run it, care for it and keep it ready to work every day.

This isn't just a seat in a crane. We have plenty of people who can run it. We're looking for the one who wants to be the best  set the pace on the job. You'll have the next piece ready before the connectors are, and you'll want to beat them every time. Your performance is measured by the production on the job.

No construction experience needed. We'll teach you the trade. What we need is someone who's good with technology, learns fast and takes pride in their work.

• Train under our lead tower crane operator and learn our lifting process
• Earn your NCCCO tower crane certification
• Run the MK140 every day and set the production pace on our jobsites
• Wash it, inspect it and keep it maintained
• Fix it when needed, working with our team and the manufacturer
• Carry a fuel cell in your truck to fuel the crane
• Carry the crane's rigging in your truck
• Drive the crane between jobsites once you have your CDL

• A competitive drive to be the best and to push production
• The ability to run multiple functions at the same time and understand what those functions do together
• A tech background, or someone who's comfortable with advanced controls, screens and software
