Overview

We’re seeking a hands-on Rigging & Technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) to lead complex Aviation Security (AVSEC) equipment moves at airports and secure facilities nationwide. This role is for a true technical authority who owns lift planning, risk decisions, and on‑site execution - and isn’t afraid to stop work when conditions aren’t right.

You’ll oversee high‑risk rigging operations from planning through execution, ensuring every move is safe, compliant, and precise.

• Serve as the technical SME for AVSEC equipment rigging and movement
• Develop and approve rigging and lift plans, including load calculations and safety controls
• Lead rigging path site walks to identify constraints and risks
• Maintain rigging risk assessments and logs
• Evaluate and oversee rigging subcontractors (safety, performance, union compliance)
• Provide on‑site oversight for critical or complex lifts
• Coordinate with Safety, OEMs, union representatives, and project teams
• Exercise stop‑work authority when plans or safety criteria aren’t met
• Capture lessons learned and drive continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

• OSHA 30 (or ability to obtain within 30 days)
• Journeyman‑level trade certification or equivalent rigging experience
• Proven experience leading complex rigging operations in airports, aviation security, or other secure/industrial environments
• Strong expertise in lift planning, load calculations, and rigging risk management
• Experience working in union environments (PLAs, prevailing wage)
• Willingness to travel up to 50%
