Crane Supervisor

You plan every lift on the job site, manage the crane operators and riggers, and make sure nobody gets killed. You review lift plans, approve rigging configurations, and have the authority to shut down any lift that doesn't meet safety standards — even if the project manager is screaming about the schedule. You've spent years in the cab and on the ground, and now you're the one everyone looks to when the load chart doesn't match the situation.
