About Sims HD Heavy Moving Solutions

Who We Are SimsHD is a Tampa, Florida-based heavy hauling, rigging, and construction hoist company. We share a family legacy and a name with Sims Crane & Equipment, but SimsHD is a separate business — our own team, our own equipment, and our own focus: transporting, lifting, and placing the heavy, high-value equipment that keeps Florida’s industries moving. From hauling oversized industrial machinery across the state to rigging a delicate piece of equipment into a tight space, our crews specialize in the jobs that demand precision as much as horsepower.

Operating out of our Tampa headquarters, SimsHD works on projects throughout Florida — and we’re growing.

A Message from Erika Sims, CEO “I grew up around cranes, but I built SimsHD around people. We started this company because our customers needed a partner who could handle the transportation and rigging side of a project with the same level of care we put into the lift itself. Today, SimsHD is a small, close-knit team taking on big, complicated work across Florida — and I’m proud of every person who wears our name on a jobsite.

If you’re looking for a place where your work is seen, your voice matters, and doing the job right is non‑negotiable, I hope you’ll consider joining us.” — Erika Sims, Chief Executive Officer, SimsHD

Every job we take on, and everyone we hire, is measured against six tenets that guide how we work:

At SimsHD, we believe in career paths and growing our talent. That's why we have four levels of Riggers, each with its own wage band and a clear path to the next.

• Level 1 — Rigger Helper / Apprentice 0–1 year of rigging experience. Work under the direct supervision of a senior rigger while you learn rigging hardware, safe lifting practices and site safety. Earn your OSHA 10 within your first 90 days.
• Level 2 — Rigger : 1–3 years of rigging experience. Select and inspect rigging, signal lifts and work independently on standard jobs. NCCCO Rigger I and/or Signal person certification.
• Level 3 — Senior Rigger : 3–6 years of rigging and machinery-moving experience. Run machinery moves with gantries, hydraulic jacks and skates, help build lift plans, and train Level 1 and 2 riggers. NCCCO Rigger II and Signal person certification.
• Level 4 — Lead Rigger / Rigging Lead : 6+ years of rigging experience. Serve as our subject-matter expert, plan critical and multi-crane lifts, and run the crew and the job site.

Riggers move up as they build skills, earn certifications and show results: completing training safely, rigging independently, leading moves, and finally leading as a subject-matter expert. Level 3 and 4 riggers can also grow into Crew Lead and Supervisor roles.

Your exact responsibilities depend on your level. Across the team, SimsHD riggers:
