• • Solid knowledge of safety regulations, crane operations, rigging and lifting procedures; proven track record enforcing site safety practices.
• • Proficient with tablets and laptops for field reporting; experience using ERP, scheduling and field management software (no specific vendor names required).
• • Strong communication, time management and conflict-resolution skills; able to coordinate multiple crews, inspectors and subcontractors on remote job sites.
