About the role
Construction Rigger to support the buildout of SpaceXSI's high-performance data centers. Plan and execute lifts, land mechanical equipment, rigging and signaling loads, and coordinate with mechanical, structural, electrical, and operations teams onsite.
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- Keep damaged, unlabeled, or out-of-date gear out of service and maintain an orderly rigging crib and laydown yard.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.
