handling techniques and procedures.
As a Rigger/Crane Operator we receive our
work assignments and projects from the
supervisor and dispatcher, as well as any
urgent matter at hand or that arises with the
approval and the go ahead of the supervisor or
manager. At times I give work instructions to
individuals and mechanics to insure that
adequate material handling equipment and
tools are available to accomplish the work at
hand. At times I have to submit requisitions for
materials, equipment, and/or tools for the VPP,
Safety, Waste Management, and Fire Warden
position. When I as a rigger report to a call I
check first and foremost safety of everyone on
job site or station, work in progress, work
sequence, procedures, and make sure safety is
maintained thru out the lift. At times I have to
report to my supervisor the status and work
progress, work delays, and overall operations
and problems in the are.
As the VPP, Safety, Hazardous Waste, and Fire
Warden representative I have to keep all
employees informed on procedures, policies,
and instructions on the proper use of tools,
gear, safety practices, and equipment. I
possess extensive amount of knowledge of
personal computers and various software
packages. I share regulations on safety, fire,
and hazardous materials pertaining to work and
oversee and give advise on safety and material
handling equipment. As this representative I
inspect work areas and report to supervisor
anything concerning my inspections. I perform
leadership duties by demonstrating hands on
work methods and machine operations.
Being a journeyman rigger I possess the
knowledge and have displayed the ability to
perform my work duties, making safe and
complex lifts using the knowledge of Material
Handling Equipment. I am highly experienced
on building cables and running the load test
machine. I have mobile, pendant, and overhead
crane operator permits up to 75 tons and
engineering equipment operator licenses,
CAT(988) and 644, forklift. And have operated
the 850 Dozier, Skid Steer, M9 ACE, AAV, LAV,
MTVR, COUGAR, HMMMV, and am on the
expedited list for LVSR license. I have a great
work relationship with everyone in the crane
way workforce and am able to communicate
well with everyone and lift and maintain
employee morale. At times I fill in for the
dispatcher which is a position that only a few of
us employees have the knowledge of while
having to provide spreadsheets, work
processing, e-mail, and electronic filing
systems.
In my position I receive instructions and pass
them on to other workers to get work started
and work with the workers we just gave
instructions to. While setting the pace for work I can see to it that we have the needed plans,
blueprints, materials, and tools from supply by
submitting requests to the supervisor. I try very
hard to demonstrate proper work methods and
procedures, and maintain current knowledge
and answers for co-workers with less
knowledge of rigging/crane operating, tech.

standard procedures, and process standards.
Being knowledgeable in material handling I
know to see to it that there is enough work to
keep everyone busy and productive. I assure
that safety, house keeping, work in progress,
work finished, work sequence, procedures,
methods, and deadlines are met, on tract, or
delayed and take the report to the supervisor. At
times I have to prepare lists of various rigging
hardware and supplies. My work requires
frequent bending, reaching, stretching, climbing,
and crouching. Having the ability to operate the
