      Rigger and Driver Foreman

      Supervised crane operations, rigging projects, planned and wrote lift plans for projects onsite working with engineers for High Energy Physics, Chemistry, Nuclear Waste Management, and much more. Argonne is a great environment for learning at all levels. The combination of the age of the facility mixed with the introduction of brand new facilities provided a constant challenge to develop workable plans that needed strict compliance to Multi layered Standards for Hoisting and Rigging. OSHA, ASME, DOT, DOE, were an everyday consideration in project management. Show less
