Build, Lift, and Move What Powers America
At Barnhart, we transform complex moves into everyday wins. As a Heavy Lift Mobile Crane Specialist, you’ll be the trusted pro on projects that keep plants running, wind farms spinning, and communities growing—while building a long-term career with a national leader in heavy lift, rigging, and transport.
A Day in the Life
Sunup finds you walking a job site with your rigging crew—reviewing the plan, confirming communications, and inspecting the crane. By mid-morning, you’re in the seat of an all-terrain or hydraulic crane, executing precision lifts with full load control. After lunch, you might help with crane assembly or support a heavy-haul mobilization. Tomorrow could bring a taxi pick across town or a set at a wind farm, but most weeks keep you close to home.
