Help Wanted Communication tower riggers

[lowenbrau]

Looking for some workers who love to be on the road and climb tall things. Ericson, Nokia, Huawei experience welcome. If you are a seasoned crew with tower stacking experience you'll be more than welcome. 5G and microwave work in Canada and the US.

not for me, but what kind of salaries do riggers make, just curious?

Ranges from $25-$40/hr in local funds but a lot of guys work as much overtime as regular time. 21/7 shifts, 12hour days. LOA etc and you’re well into 6 figures annually with 12 weeks of vacation. Don’t let the -30 days at 300ft with out a pee break frighten you off.

How do you get into that line of work?

I work at a desk but years ago I used to climb occasionally to calibrate wind measurement equipment for masts on wind farms. Good luck on your search!

Worked with Barnhart crane & rigging stacking wind towers. Have a harness might be out of date but know what is like to be 300' up all day and night without a pee break. That's why plastic bottles were invented right?

Hi-
I know the world is a lot different now than when this past was created, but I would be interested in this. Feel free to reach out to me. I have rigging experience from concert production and am currently out of work.

Thanks,
Pete
