A Crane Driver is responsible for operating stationary or mobile cranes to lift, move, and position heavy materials and equipment on construction sites, docks, warehouses, and industrial facilities. The role involves interpreting load charts, understanding lift parameters, and working closely with riggers and other site personnel to ensure safe and efficient operations.
Crane Drivers must be highly skilled in maneuvering their machines with precision, often in high-risk environments where safety is paramount. They also conduct routine inspections and maintenance of the crane to ensure it remains in good working condition, adhering to occupational health and safety regulations. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work in a team are essential for success in this role.
