Company Overview: Structural Technologies is a leading construction company specializing in innovative solutions for infrastructure and building projects. With a solid reputation for delivering high-quality results, we take pride in our commitment to safety, professionalism, and client satisfaction.

Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled, safety-focused Rough Terrain Crane Operator to operate a 15-Ton Tadano TR-150XL-4 for major ongoing construction projects. The ideal candidate is a dependable operator who takes pride in precision work and maintains a strong safety record.

While the crane is expected to be steadily busy, we value a strong work ethic and team-first mindset: when the crane is idle, you should be proactive and ready to assist the team with other site duties to keep the project moving forward.

  • Team Assistance: Actively assist with general site tasks, tool maintenance, and ground support during operational downtime.
  • Safety Compliance: Adhere strictly to OSHA standards, site-specific safety protocols, and company policies at all times.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Valid NCCCO (or equivalent industry/state) Crane Operator Certification for Rough Terrain / Hydraulic Cranes.
  • Proven experience operating RT cranes (experience with Tadano equipment is a plus).
  • Strong knowledge of load charts, rigging procedures, hand signals, and safety regulations.
  • Willingness to pitch in with general job site tasks when crane operation is paused.
  • Reliable transportation and ability to work full project hours.
  • Ability to pass required background checks, drug screenings, and physical evaluations.
