A major infrastructure construction project in the DFW metro is adding an experienced Crawler Crane Operator for a large-scale, high-value build. The project involves precast and structural steel lifts requiring precision rigging and consistent boom configuration changes across multiple phases. This is a long-duration assignment with strong hourly compensation, per diem, and the stability of a project-backed schedule. If you run a lattice boom crawler at tonnage (300T+) and hold your NCCCO credentials, this is a direct opportunity to stay working on a flagship project.

• Looking at a start date of 10/26/2026 (+/-)

Overview:

• Operate a large-tonnage lattice boom crawler crane through multiple lift phases
• Execute precast concrete picks using a luffer configuration; transition to structural steel lifts as the project phases progress
• Perform pre-shift inspections, maintain crane logs, and coordinate with rigging and signalperson crews
• Work within established lift plans; flag any field deviations to the superintendent immediately
• Maintain NCCCO certification and DOT medical card in good standing throughout the assignment
