Operates mobile and all-terrain cranes for lifting on construction and industrial sites, including set-up, outrigger deployment and travel between lift positions.
Direct answer
Gulf Orbit supplies mobile crane operators to construction and industrial sites anywhere in Saudi Arabia, and has supplied operators for truck-mounted, rough-terrain and all-terrain cranes from 25 t to over 250 t. TUV-carded operators are available, with Aramco-certified or non-Aramco operators as your site requires.
State the crane type (truck-mounted, rough-terrain or all-terrain), its capacity in tonnes, and whether TUV or Aramco cards are required.
Request a quoteMobile crane operators run hydraulic telescopic boom, rough-terrain (RT) and all-terrain (AT) cranes. Their work includes daily pre-start checks of wire ropes, hydraulic rams, hooks, and safety cut-outs, and checking outrigger mat placement and ground bearing before any lift.
Lifting operations require absolute adherence to engineering lift plans. Crane operators interpret load capacity charts, verify boom length and operating radius, monitor Load Moment Indicators (LMI) and Anti-Two Block (A2B) systems, and maintain continuous two-way radio and standardized hand-signal communication with riggers and banksmen whose credentials meet the project requirements.
In a plant turnaround, an idle crane holds up the critical path. Operator availability, required licenses and third-party competency records are reviewed for each site, and worker documents are reviewed per project, before a mobilization plan is confirmed.
Two different requests often arrive in the same words. If your site already has the crane, or it comes from a crane hire company, what you need is an operator, supplied as manpower and matched to that machine. If you need the crane as well, that is the equipment rental service line, where crane requests are reviewed against the lift and site requirements and quoted separately. Say which one you need. If the crane comes from a third party, name its make, model and capacity so the operator is matched to the machine rather than the job title.
Every lift needs more than the operator. Level III riggers sling the load and give the signals, and a lift supervisor or appointed person owns the lift plan. Gulf Orbit supplies Level III riggers, so the lift supervisor role normally sits with your site team. On long shifts or shutdowns, ask for a relief operator so the crane keeps working when the first operator's hours run out.
Send how many workers you need for Mobile Crane Operator, the city, the start date and the duration. CVs and documents for each worker come to you for approval, and nobody mobilizes before you approve them. See the full request process

TUV-carded crane operators are available, and Aramco-certified or non-Aramco operators can be supplied as your site requires. Card copies and the operator's licence come with the CV for your approval before mobilization.
Yes, against your site's lift procedures. Critical lift plans, tandem lifts, wind-speed limits and load chart requirements are confirmed before an operator is put forward.
Yes. Crane operators can be quoted for turnarounds on shift schedules and short-to-medium term contracts.
Worker documents, including iqama, license and card copies, are reviewed per project before mobilization.
Yes, on the same RFQ. Gulf Orbit supplies Level III riggers, who sling loads and give signals to the operator. If your lift plan calls for a Level I or Level II rigger to supervise the lift, that role is not on the register, so keep it with your site team.
