Role Description

TNT Crane & Rigging, Inc. is looking for an accomplished rigging professional who knows how to teach the craft—not just explain it. In this role, you will use real-world experience, technical standards, and hands-on coaching to help employees build sound judgment, reliable technique, and confidence on the jobsite.

As a full-time member of the Training Department, the Rigging Trainer plans, delivers, and evaluates technical and safety training across multiple business units. You will lead classroom, hands-on, and blended learning; demonstrate correct rigging practices; assess practical performance; and give clear, actionable coaching. You will connect rigging fundamentals, lift preparation, equipment inspection, hazard recognition, communication, and safe execution to the realities of field work.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver engaging classroom and hands-on instruction in rigging practices, equipment selection and use, inspection, hazard recognition, lift preparation, communication, and applicable safety requirements.
• Model correct techniques, observe participants during practical exercises, evaluate performance consistently, and coach learners toward safe, repeatable work habits.
• Coordinate training schedules with hiring, qualification, certification, refresher, and operational needs across multiple business units.
• Maintain accurate training, certification, and qualification records, document learner progress, and communicate results to appropriate leaders.
• Partner with operations, safety, and leadership to validate course content, address performance gaps, and incorporate jobsite lessons.
• Manage competing priorities, frequent travel, and changing operational demands while maintaining a high standard of instruction.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• At least three years of rigging experience, with the field credibility to explain both what the standard requires and how to apply it safely.
• Experience delivering technical or safety training to riggers, operators, and other craft professionals.
• Working knowledge of applicable ASME, OSHA, MSHA, federal, state, and provincial requirements and relevant industry standards.
• Ability to demonstrate rigging concepts and evaluate practical performance with consistency, professionalism, and attention to detail.
• Strong facilitation, coaching, written communication, verbal communication, and organizational skills.
• Ability to engage in small and large groups with varied experience levels.
• Comfort using Microsoft Office and learning technologies that support instruction and knowledge management.
• A self-directed, collaborative approach and the flexibility to teach outside a traditional classroom.
• Ability to travel up to 80% of the time.

Preferred Qualifications

• NCCCO or NCCER instructor certification; relevant rigger, signalperson, crane, or training credentials are also valued.
• NCCCO Rig2 and/or NCCER Advanced Rigger.
• Experience with apprenticeship, qualification, on-the-job, or train-the-trainer programs.
