Job Description
Crane Operator
We will be the biggest XXXL Monopile factory in the world, servicing the offshore wind industry.
We're looking for experienced and safety-focused Crane Operators to join our Production team at SeAH Wind. Reporting to the Production Supervisor, you'll play a vital role in supporting the safe movement of steel plates, cans and cones throughout our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, helping to deliver foundations for some of the world's largest offshore wind projects.
Working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment, you'll operate overhead gantry cranes to carry out heavy and complex lifting activities in accordance with lift plans, risk assessments and company lifting procedures.

This is a permanent shift-based position offering excellent earning potential, career development opportunities and the chance to be part of one of the UK's most exciting manufacturing projects.
