Houston, TX & Surrounding Areas Local Work | Established Small/Midsized Crane Company We are looking for an experienced 18-50 Ton Truck Crane Operator to join our team. We are a smaller, family-owned crane company with approximately 20 employees. We know our people, we care about our employees and their families, and we're looking for someone who wants to become a dependable part of the team — not just another number. Experience matters, but attitude matters just as much. We're looking for someone who is safe, dependable, coachable, shows up on time, communicates well, and has a can-do, will-do mentality. We all work together here. Big egos, constant complaining, drama, or a "that's not my job" attitude will not be a good fit for our culture.

We run smaller taxi cranes, stay busy with local work, and need operators who are comfortable with the variety that comes with that environment. One job may be a straightforward pick, another may involve a delivery, loading/unloading, or helping solve a problem for a customer. We want an operator who can get the job done safely without bringing an ego with them. Someone who communicates with dispatch. Someone customers like seeing show up. Someone who takes care of their crane. Someone who helps the team when needed. And most importantly, someone we can depend on. Our Culture We're a small/midsized company with approximately 20 employees, so every person affects the culture of the company. We care about our employees and their families and want this to be a place where good people can stay, grow, and build a career. In return, we expect: A positive, professional attitude Reliability and punctuality Respect for coworkers, customers, and management Willingness to help the team Coachability, regardless of experience level Good communication Pride in your equipment and your work No unnecessary drama, bad attitudes, or constant complaining A safety-first mentality There is opportunity to grow with the company for operators who prove themselves to be safe, dependable, versatile, and willing to take on additional responsibility. If you're an experienced operator who likes working for a smaller company where you're known by name, your work is appreciated, and you're willing to be part of the team, we'd like to hear from you.
