Job Description

FOREMAN RIGGER

Location: Glasgow

UK-wide industrial company

This is not a title role. This is a working foreman position in heavy industrial environments.

You’ll lead crews on complex rigging and machine moving projects across safety-critical sites. You’ll still be hands-on – but you’ll also be the person setting standards, controlling risk and making sure the job is done properly.

What this role actually involves:

  • Leading rigging and machine moving teams on live industrial sites
  • Taking ownership of RAMS, permits and site safety
  • Coordinating lifts, jacking, skidding and crane interface
  • Acting as the point of contact between site, crew and client
  • Working in environments where mistakes are not tolerated

What you’ll need:

  • Strong industrial rigging background
  • Proven experience leading teams on site
  • Solid safety mindset (COMAH / heavy industry experience preferred)
  • Relevant tickets (SSSTS/SMSTS beneficial)
  • Flexibility to travel and work away when required

This will suit you if:

  • You lead from the front
  • You’re calm under pressure
  • You don’t need micromanaging
  • You care about doing things the right way

If you’re looking for an easy ride, this isn’t it. If you want responsibility, stability and respect – it might be.

If this sounds like a position of interest, please forward an updated CV asap!
