A rigging foreman plays a crucial leadership and safety role in heavy lifting operations by coordinating people, equipment, and safety procedures to complete projects efficiently and incident-free. On site, our crane rigging foreman will be responsible for planning, supervising, and ensuring the safe execution of commercial lifts. You will review lift plans and job specifications to determine rigging requirements and coordinate closely with engineers, crane operators, and site supervisors to organize lifting activities. As rigging foreman, you will lead a team of riggers and signalmen, assign tasks, monitor performance, and ensure all work complies with safety and procedural standards. You will be tasked to conduct safety meetings, risk assessments, and pre-lift inspections to identify hazards and verify that all lifting gear is properly selected, inspected, and certified.
