Crane Operator

Barnhart

Schedule: Monday-Friday, with seasonal overtime and on-call opportunities
Type: Full-Time

You'll operate a wide range of cranes and heavy equipment while working alongside an experienced crew that takes pride in doing the job right.

What You'll Do
  • Operate a variety of cranes ranging from 3-ton spider cranes to 450-ton boom trucks
  • Support daily operations including equipment transport, setup, and inspections
  • Perform Job Hazard Analyses (JHA) and follow strict safety protocols
  • Work closely with dispatch and team members to complete assigned job tickets
  • Assist with driving semi trucks and moving equipment to job sites
  • Execute primarily day-trade jobs (approx. 70%), with opportunities to support larger project work
  • Maintain equipment readiness and ensure safe, efficient crane operations
What Makes This Role Stand Out
  • Consistent pipeline of work with a strong local presence
  • Comprehensive benefits
  • Opportunity to work on diverse equipment-rare variety in one role
  • Career stability and long-term growth in a respected company
  • Team-focused environment with a strong safety culture
What You Bring
  • NCCCO Certification (required)
  • CDL Class A (required)
  • Experience operating cranes (variety of experience welcome)
  • Strong commitment to safety, teamwork, and reliability
  • Willingness to support team needs with a "do what it takes" mindset
Note: If you have your NCCCO and CDL-A, we want to hear from you-even if your experience level varies.

Work Environment & Schedule
  • Typical hours: 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM (Monday-Friday)
  • 30-60 hours/week depending on season
  • On-call rotation required
  • Majority of work based locally (~90% in/around the branch)
  • Occasional travel to support customer jobs and projects
Compensation
  • Opportunity for above-scale pay based on experience and qualifications
  • Weekly pay
  • Overtime opportunities based on workload (not guaranteed)
