RIGGER -3(TUV)
AL-ESSA
Rastanurh , Saudi Arabia
2025.08 - 2025.10
- Operated hoisting cranes to lift heavy loads, ensuring smooth workflow.
- Executed dismantling of structures using rigging tools, aiding project completion timelines.
- Managed communication with crane operators using hand signals, promoting efficient teamwork on site.
- · Executing the Lift: During the lift, riggers attach the load to the crane hook and may use tag lines to control and stabilize it, preventing dangerous swinging . They must know and understand the hand or radio signals used to communicate effectively with the crane operator .
- · Post-Lift Duties: After the load is safely positioned, riggers are responsible for detaching the rigging equipment, conducting post-use inspections, and properly storing all gear .
Rigger 3 (TUV)
JGC/Green engineering
Abqaiq , Saudi Arabia
2024.06 - 2025.06
- Carried out day-to-day duties accurately and efficiently.
- Quickly learned and applied new skills to daily tasks, improving efficiency and productivity.
- Successfully delivered on tasks within tight deadlines.
- · Pre-Lift Planning and Inspection: Before any lift, riggers must participate in pre-lifting meetings to understand the lift plan and potential hazards . They are responsible for inspecting all rigging equipment (slings, shackles, hooks) before each shift to ensure it is in safe working condition, removing any defective gear from service immediately .
- · Load Preparation and Attachment: A key duty is to determine the weight and center of gravity of the load . Based on this, they select the appropriate rigging gear and configure it correctly to ensure the load is balanced and stable . They also protect rigging equipment from damage by sharp edges .

Skills
Rigging is physically demanding and requires strong cognitive abilities to adapt to changing conditions
Physical Strength & Stamina: The job often requires lifting heavy gear (frequently over 20kg/50lbs), climbing, standing for long periods, and working in awkward positions or extreme weather
Spatial Awareness: The ability to visualize the path of the load and anticipate how it will swing or move to avoid obstacles
Communication & Teamwork: Rigging is rarely a solo job It requires clear communication with crane operators, supervisors, and other riggers to coordinate complex lifts
Problem-Solving: When a load isn't lifting level or an unexpected obstacle appears, the rigger must quickly adapt and find a safe solution
Hazard Identification: The ability to conduct site inspections and identify potential dangers, such as overhead power lines, unstable ground, pinch points, or atmospheric hazards
Regulatory Knowledge: A working understanding of standards like OSHA 1926251 (for construction) and ASME B30 volumes, which govern safe practices
PPE Proficiency: Correct use of Personal Protective Equipment, including hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves, and sometimes fire-retardant clothing
Load Calculation: Must be able to accurately determine the weight and center of gravity of a load using blueprints, calculations, or load cells to ensure the crane is not overloaded
Sling Angle Stress: A critical skill is understanding how sling angles affect tension As the angle from vertical increases, the stress on each leg of the rigging increases significantly
Rigging Gear Selection: Proficiency in choosing the correct sling (wire rope, chain, synthetic) and hardware (shackles, eyebolts, hooks) based on the load, environment, and hitches used
Hitch Configurations: Knowledge of how to properly apply different hitches, such as a Vertical, Bridle, Basket, or Choker hitch, and understanding how each affects the capacity of the sling
Hand Signaling: Mastery of standard hand or radio signal
