Rigger

A Rigger uses ropes and pulleys to move heavy equipment into position on a construction site. You might be placing steel into position or moving building equipment to where it’s needed. Riggers use a complicated system of cables, pulleys and winches to move things safely. You might also position things like scaffolding, guard rails and other safety equipment.

Riggers need to be excellent problem solvers. You’ll need to be safety focused and able to work as part of a larger construction team. Riggers should be flexible and able to work in a range of building environments. It’s important that you can communicate well on a building site and adhere to all relevant safety standards.
