Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in rigger jobs.
- Current NCCCO certification or equivalent rigging and signalperson credential
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 construction safety certification
- Proven experience reading and executing engineered lift plans
- Proficiency with wire rope, synthetic slings, shackles, and rigging hardware inspection
- Ability to work at height and in confined spaces with fall-protection compliance
- High school diploma or GED with completion of an apprenticeship program preferred
Tips for Your Rigger Job Search
List every relevant certification you hold
Employers filter hard on credentials like NCCCO, ASME B30 compliance, and fall-protection training. Put each certification name, issuing body, and expiration date in a dedicated section near the top of your resume so hiring managers spot them immediately.
Quantify the loads and heights you have worked
Vague language like 'rigged heavy equipment' tells a hiring manager nothing. Write the actual tonnage, lift heights, and equipment types you have handled. Numbers give supervisors and safety officers something concrete to evaluate against their project specs.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists rigger openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by project type, not just title
A posting labeled 'rigger' at an entertainment venue means something very different from one at a petrochemical plant. Read the project scope in each listing and only apply where your specific background matches, so your cover letter can speak directly to their work.
Prepare for a hands-on skills demonstration
Many employers bring candidates on-site to tie knots, inspect rigging hardware, or talk through a hypothetical lift plan before making an offer. Review signal hand codes, hitching techniques, and load-angle factors so you can demonstrate them confidently without hesitation.
Negotiate start dates around your NCCCO renewal cycle
If your certification expires within a few months of your projected start date, either complete the renewal before you accept an offer or raise it transparently during negotiations. Employers appreciate candidates who flag compliance issues early rather than after paperwork is signed.
Rigger Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most riggers?
The most active employers for riggers right now are MEI Industrial Solutions, Colonna's Shipyard, and SpaceX, and the most openings are in Texas, Florida, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to track large infrastructure, energy, and entertainment production schedules.
How many rigger jobs are remote?
About 0% of rigger openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how hands-on the core work is. The small remote share skews toward roles with significant planning, inspection coordination, or lift-supervision responsibilities that can be handled off-site between project phases.
How do you become a rigger?
Start by completing an accredited apprenticeship through a union like the IUOE or LIUNA, or pursue an employer-sponsored entry-level helper position that provides on-the-job hours. Once you have documented field experience, sit for the NCCCO Rigger Level I exam. Build toward Level II certification as you accumulate hours on progressively complex lifts.
How do you get hired as a rigger with little or no experience?
Apply for helper, apprentice, or ground-crew positions that explicitly welcome candidates new to rigging. Completing OSHA 10 and a basic rigging awareness course before you apply signals commitment and makes you safer to onboard. Union hall dispatch programs are another direct entry point, as they place trainees with contractors who expect to train from the ground up.
What does the rigger interview process look like?
Expect an initial phone screen focused on certifications and safety record, followed by an in-person interview with a foreman or safety manager who will ask you to walk through a past lift in detail. Many employers add a practical component where you inspect hardware, identify defects, or demonstrate hitching techniques on the shop floor before an offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to rigger jobs?
You can find and apply to rigger jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your certifications, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each one that fits.
