Skills
- Journey-level construction rigging experience: 3+ years of industrial or commercial construction rigging, completion of a recognized rigger or ironworker apprenticeship, or equivalent military experience.
- Experience signaling cranes and executing lifts with slings, shackles, chain falls, come-alongs, and gantries or tuggers.
- Willingness to work at heights, outdoors, and on a changing data center construction site.
- Ability to use hand tools, power tools, and material-handling equipment safely.
- Strong safety mindset and willingness to follow site procedures, including lift permits and exclusion zones.
- Willingness to work extended hours, nights, and weekends during critical construction windows.
- Prior experience on data center, industrial, or heavy‑civil construction sites.
- Familiarity with load charts, pick planning, and mechanical equipment sets (pumps, air handlers, cooling towers, skids).
- NCCCO Rigger certification (Level I or II) or equivalent.
- Qualified signal person certification.
- Forklift certification; aerial lift or scissor lift certification a plus.
- OSHA 10 or equivalent training.
- Ability to read plans, lift sketches, and equipment arrangement drawings.
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate.
- Ability to travel extensively to SpaceXAI data center construction sites and remain onsite during peak construction phases.
- Capability to work in industrial environments, climb ladders, lift and position moderate loads and rigging hardware, stand and walk for a full shift, and wear PPE for extended periods, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Responsibilities
- Plan and execute lifts using mobile and tower cranes (as signal person), forklifts, gantries, tuggers, chain falls, come‑alongs, and other hoisting equipment.
- Inspect, select, and install slings, shackles, spreader bars, below‑the‑hook devices, and other rigging hardware; confirm working load limits, hitch type, and sling angles before a pick.
- Keep damaged, unlabeled, or out‑of‑date gear out of service and maintain an orderly rigging crib and laydown yard.
- Signal crane and forklift operators and run the lift team communication for the duration of the pick, including exclusion zones.
- Crib, block, roll, and land pumps, cooling towers, air handlers, skids, pipe racks, modules, and other mechanical gear.
- Assist with simple lift sketches, load paths, and field changes; flag drawing or lift‑plan conflicts before the pick starts.
- Stage, move, and inventory rigging gear and construction materials; fetch and return tools and keep consumables stocked.
- Open and close work areas: protection, debris removal, scrap segregation, and end‑of‑shift reset so the next crew can start immediately.
- Follow LOTO, PPE, lift‑permit, and site rules; do not start a lift without authorization and a clear exclusion zone.
- Report damaged gear, unsafe conditions, and near misses immediately.
- Support punch‑list work and cleanup through system turnover.
