Safety and Compliance: Follow all safety procedures and wear required PPE at all times. Maintain a strong safety mindset and ensure compliance with OSHA and company standards.

Communication and Coordination: Work closely with riggers and ground crews using hand signals, radios, or other communication tools to ensure safe and accurate lifts. Collaborate with team members to execute lifts smoothly and efficiently.
