This combined role within a steel company focuses on the safe lifting, moving, and structural cutting of steel materials, components, and heavy equipment. It integrates entry-level support (Helper), specialized heavy-lifting expertise (Rigger), and metal fabrication/dismantling skills (Cutter).
Key Responsibilities
Rigger Responsibilities:
Load Securement: Select, inspect, and attach rigging gear (slings, chains, shackles, hooks) to steel loads, ensuring balance and security.
Lifting Operations: Direct crane operators and hoists using hand signals or radio to move heavy structural steel, steel plates, or machinery.
Load Calculation: Estimate load weights, center of gravity, and lifting capacities to prevent equipment failure.
Equipment Maintenance: Inspect rigging tools before use and report any damage to supervisors.
Cutter Responsibilities:
Metal Cutting: Use oxy-acetylene torches or gas cutting equipment to cut steel plates, girders, or scrap metal to size.
Fabrication/Dismantling: Perform "hot work" to dismantle structures or prepare structural steel components for welding/assembly.
Helper Responsibilities:
Material Handling: Assist in moving steel materials, tools, and equipment around the workshop or construction site.
Support Roles: Assist welders, fitters, and senior riggers with holding tools, cleaning work areas, and aligning materials.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Physical Stamina: Ability to lift heavy objects (50+ lbs), work at heights, and endure harsh weather conditions or high-temperature environments.
Technical Proficiency: Basic understanding of rigging hardware, knot tying, and safe lifting techniques.
Cutting Expertise: Demonstrated ability to handle oxy-fuel cutting equipment safely.
Safety Adherence: Strong knowledge of OSHA safety standards for rigging and hot work.
Communication: Clear communication skills, both verbal and hand-signaling, to work with crane operators.
Certifications (Preferred): Rigging certification (e.g., Level 1 NCCCO), or training in hot work safety.
Work Environment
This role operates in factories, steel mills, shipyards, or construction sites, often involving high-noise environments and heavy industrial machinery.
Workers must wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) including hard hats, safety shoes, hearing protection, and welding masks.
