Certified Crane Operator [Omaha]

Crane Operator

A commercial construction subcontractor running active multi-family and mixed-use projects across the Midwest needs a CCO-certified crane operator in the greater Omaha area. The crane is a brand-new Grove RT and the lift work is straightforward: rebar, wall panel forms, and light material picks on a civil/foundation phase. No critical lifts. If you're local, certified, and ready to run, this one starts fast.
