Crane Support CDL Driver

Job Description

Job Description

Do More Than Just Drive.

This is not an over-the-road driving job. We’re looking for a Class A CDL Driver with a strong focus on rigging —someone who wants to be actively involved on the jobsite, setting up lifts, handling rigging, and signaling while working alongside crane operators and logistics teams to ensure safe, efficient operations.

If you enjoy hands-on work, teamwork, and being part of the lift—not just a steering wheel—this role is for you.
