When there is work, it is plentiful. But there are long stretches where ther is no work.
Rigger (Current Employee), Delcambre, LA – March 5, 2013
Pros: free meals, lots of opportunity to make good money.
Cons: work is not steady. there are long periods where there is no work.
A typical day at work ranges from 14 to 18 hours. I learned quit a bit about rigging. How to align, level, and anchor machinery. Also, control movement of heavy equipment through confined spaces using cranes, hoists and other equipment. And attach loads to rigging to provide support or prepare for moving, using hand and power tools. The management was – more... good to work for. They wanted us to do a good job, but most of all to be safe while doing it. My co-workers were supportive team players which made the work a lot easier. The hardest part of the job is the infrequency of work. The most enjoyable part is the amount of money you can make when there is work. – less
