Mobile Crane Operator

Mobile Crane Operator Elkford/Vanderhoof 

Looking for a genuine ground-floor opportunity with a company expanding into northern British Columbia?

Cranemax Hoisting is establishing a permanent operational branch in Vanderhoof and is seeking a skilled Mobile Crane Operator who wants to help build a strong local presence from day one.

You will be based right in Elkford/ Vanderhoof and operate a diverse modern fleet that includes large boom trucks, Liebherr rough-terrain cranes, and newer Liebherr all-terrain cranes. The work covers a solid mix of industrial, resource-sector, and infrastructure projects throughout the region — with the major advantage of a local yard instead of long mobilizations.

This is a true startup-branch role. You will have the chance to help shape systems, deliver reliable service, and establish Cranemax as a trusted local provider in a busy and growing market.

What the role involves

• Operating large boom trucks and Liebherr RT / AT cranes across a variety of industrial and resource sites
• Performing complex lifts including modules, structural components, transformers, and maintenance loads
• Supporting planned projects, shutdowns, and responsive call-outs
• Completing thorough pre-operational inspections and accurate field documentation
• Maintaining high professional and safety standards in northern BC conditions

What you bring

• Valid BC Crane Safety registration and certification for mobile crane or boom truck operation (Red Seal preferred)
• Class 1 or Class 3 driver’s license with air brake endorsement and a clean abstract
• Proven experience operating boom trucks and mobile hydraulic cranes in industrial or resource environments
• Comfortable working on remote roads, variable sites, and in northern weather
• Strong load-chart, rigging, and communication skills
• A professional, safety-first mindset and the initiative to help build a new operation

Why this role:

We offer competitive compensation based on experience and certifications, overtime opportunities, modern equipment, and real variety of work.

If you are a professional operator looking for meaningful responsibility and the opportunity to help launch a new northern operation, we want to hear from you.
