crane operators
Heavy machinery workers
Crane operators are workers who control cranes—the heavy machinery used to lift and move large loads at construction sites, shipping ports, and industrial facilities.
The job requires precise coordination and spatial awareness, as operators manipulate controls from a cab that may sit hundreds of feet in the air: The crane operators lifted steel beams into place.
