Now Careers has been engaged by a well-regarded civil and heritage remediation contractor to supply an experienced Crane Operator for a high-profile Sydney CBD project.

The role is operating a Maeda CC985S-1 telescoping mini crawler crane through an upcoming heritage sandstone deconstruction. The work is precision lifting using Lewis pins, with each block tagged, wrapped in geofabric and palletised for later reconstruction.

If you've run mini crawlers or spider cranes before — Maeda, Jekko, Kobelco — and enjoy careful, high-visibility CBD work, this is a cracker of a job.

What's on offer

- Attractive hourly rate (DOE) + penalties + travel allowance
- Immediate start — deconstruction phase runs 16 November to 18 December 2026
- Further placements on the same project in early and late 2027
- Weekly pay, super on top
- Working directly with an established delivery team in central Sydney

What you'll be doing

- Operating a Maeda CC985S-1 mini crawler (4.9t x 2.1m, 16.5m lift height) on a live heritage site




- Precision lifts of heritage sandstone blocks using Lewis pins
- Working within a tight CBD footprint
- Pre-starts, logbook, lift studies and load management
- Working alongside riggers and the site crew

What you'll need

- Current C2 HRWL (open slewing) — minimum
- Mini crawler / spider crane experience strongly preferred (Maeda, Jekko, Kobelco)
- White Card (CPCCWHS1001)
- Verification of Competency (VOC) — we can arrange
- Clean, current driver's licence
- Willing to complete pre-employment medical + D&A;
- Confined Space Rescue ticket a strong advantage
- Heritage, museum or restricted-access lifting experience a big plus

About you

Precise, patient, safety-focused. Comfortable on a highly visible CBD site with public and heritage scrutiny. You understand that this isn't production lifting — it's careful, planned, one-piece-at-a-time work. Clean paperwork, transparent comms, zero shortcuts.
