The Opportunity

Join the team on the HCC REZ (Hunter Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone) project and be a key contributor to a major infrastructure build in the Hunter Region, NSW. As an Advanced Rigger you will be undertaking critical rigging activities — working with precision, heavy lifting, steel erection, crane operations and high‑voltage infrastructure. You will be joining a motivated crew, backed by the strong support systems of GenusPlus, and working in a dynamic, high‑profile project environment.

What you'll do

• Execute advanced rigging operations – including load calculations, slinging, signalling, crane pick & carry, structural steel and heavy components.
• Work closely with crane operators, supervisors and other trades to safely install and secure large‑scale steel and electrical infrastructure.
• Maintain strict compliance with WHS and site‐specific safety procedures, including working at heights, confined spaces, and around live electrical assets.
• Inspect rigging gear, perform pre‐start checks, ensure equipment is maintained and safe for use.
• Participate in team planning, signage, risk assessments and toolbox talks – contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
• Assist with the mobilisation/demobilisation phases of heavy lifts and structural installs as required by the project schedule.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as an Advanced Rigger (or equivalent) on major infrastructure / high voltage / transmission projects.
• Trade relevant tickets/licenses: Rigger Level 2/3 (or equivalent), Dogging, Crane signalling, Working at Heights, Confined Space, Lifting Supervisor (or ability to up‐skill).
• Strong understanding of load charts, rigging hardware, steel erection, and heavy modular installation.
• Excellent safety mindset and track record of working in high‑risk environments.
• Ability to work in a high‑performance team, follow instructions from crane operators/supervisors, and maintain clear communication.
• Flexibility to work on the site schedule – likely Monday to Friday, with possibility of variation depending on project needs.
• Based in (or willing to relocate to) the Hunter Region, NSW (or willing to commute/mobilise).

What's in it for you

• Join a marquee renewable energy infrastructure project with long‑term scope and growth potential.
• Work for a nationally recognised employer with strong safety, training and career development focus.
• Excellent remuneration package and allowances corresponding to the advanced nature of the role.
• Chance to further enhance your career in rigging, crane operations and heavy infrastructure with a company invested in your development.
