NCCCO Crane Operator

Quanta Services•Quinlan, TX

About The Position

Irby Construction Company is hiring an NCCCO Crane Operator for field-based work in Texas and Oklahoma. The operator will run and drive cranes up to—and potentially over—250 tons, including cranes with booms, and must also have experience driving tractor-trailers. The role includes maintaining and monitoring equipment, operating cranes to hoist steel lattice and other materials, and supporting crane erection, dismantling, and setup. Operators may also operate other heavy equipment or perform other duties when a crane is unavailable or not needed. The position requires physical work in outdoor and active construction environments, including climbing into and out of equipment and working in all weather conditions. Projects may require overtime, night and weekend work, and travel based on customer requirements. Safety is a condition of employment: operators must take ownership of each lift and follow company, OSHA, customer, manufacturer, and approved lift-procedure requirements. A background check and driving records that meet company standards are required.
