Frequently asked — Operating Engineers bookings

Do you supply operating engineers for commercial cranes in NEPA?
Yes — master-tier operating engineers for mobile crane operation are dispatchable, subject to NCCCO rating for the crane class. Specify class at booking.
Can you cover a central plant or boiler-house shift?
Yes — shift coverage in commercial central plants is a journeyman/master scope. Multi-week assignments are most efficient as weekly bookings.
What's the difference between operating engineer and heavy-equipment operator?
Heavy-equipment operators run earthmoving / excavation / paving machines. Operating engineers run plant equipment — cranes, compressors, generators, central-plant systems. We dispatch both as separate trades.
Are your operators NCCCO-certified?
Master-tier operating engineers on the platform hold NCCCO certifications for the crane class booked. Confirm with dispatch.
