An industrial construction contractor is adding two rough terrain crane operators to a plant shutdown at a grain and feed processing facility in Marietta, PA. The crane runs around the clock for the outage — one operator on days, one on nights. The machine is a 130-ton Link-Belt RT. $44.00/hour 08.28.2026 through 09.08.2026 | 12-hour shifts, crane runs around the clock $125.00/day per diem Travel pay Must be open to day/night shift Overview Operate a 130-ton Link-Belt rough terrain crane inside the load chart on every pick Set up for each pick — boom configuration, counterweight, outrigger position, radius — in confined plant setups Make the picks the outage schedule calls for: pulling and setting equipment, structural steel, and process components inside a live shutdown window Perform and document daily crane inspections, and pull the machine out of service when it needs to come out Coordinate every lift with site supervision, riggers, and signalpersons Hold your shift — 12 hours, days or nights — through 09.08.2026; the other operator relieves you and the crane does not sit Work to grain and feed processing protocols: combustible dust control, hot work permits, overhead and confined lifts Skills & Experience NCCCO with TLL Endorsement Recent seat time on rough terrain cranes in the 100-ton class or larger Load chart discipline and documented daily inspections Available the full run, 08.28.2026 through 09.08.2026, on 12-hour shifts Own PPE and standard safety wear Link-Belt RT time — RTC-80130, RTC-80100, or comparable Shutdown, turnaround, or outage work — permit-driven, schedule-driven, no room to slide
