Rigger

View this career for different education levels:

Imagine you need to lift something really, really heavy or put something very high up, like a giant crane part or a big stage light for a concert. That is where a rigger comes in! Riggers are super important people who know how to safely move and lift heavy things. They use special ropes, chains, slings, and cranes to make sure everything is secure and does not fall down. They work on lots of different exciting projects, from building tall buildings and bridges to setting up amazing shows and events. It is a job that needs a lot of careful planning, strength, and teamwork to make sure everyone is safe and the job gets done right. To be a rigger, you need to be good at following instructions and working with others. You also need to be very aware of safety, as lifting heavy objects can be dangerous if not done correctly. Riggers have special training to learn how to check all their equipment, understand different types of knots and hitches, and communicate clearly with crane operators and other team members. They often work outdoors, sometimes at heights, so they need to be fit and not afraid of being up high. It is a rewarding job for someone who likes practical work and seeing big projects come to life!
