Looking for a Tower Crane Operator
Posted on 2/19/15 at 2:32 pm

This skill set seems to be of high demand and low supply. Can the OT point me in the direction of locating an operator for a 4 to 5 month assignment in the Greater NOLA area?

I can operate a crane if you give me a 12-pk and a few hours to get familiar with the equipment

I'd be willing to give it a shot.
Sounds like fun.

Have you tried the local 406?

Shoot, I can do it.
Lemme Google up on that skillset right quick.
'Bout how lenient are y'all on the whole drug and alcohol deal?

We can't hire enough crane operators.

Never ran a tower crane, very experienced on gantries and very heavy bridge cranes.
What is the motor and control set up on those? I realize I am not qualified to operate that, but was curious about the set-up, is it electric with electronic controls, or strictly a friction rig?

Haven't pulled the trigger on a rig yet because it doesn't do any good without someone to run it. It will be a new crane that has never been used however.

I bet GCS has the skill set

No but will do this before the COB today.

Well, I've already got a couple of endorsements in this here thread, but since y'all are probably all hardass about recreational use of pharmaceuticals, I'm gonna help you out.
Reaching out to some ex-Shuttle guys. They had to pass stringent tests, like spraying a paint can nozzle with the crane w/o crushing the can.

Yeah, these folks can name their price right now. Good luck with your budget.

Of the ones you have looked at, is there typical type of set-up?
