In every sector where heavy lifting happens — from aerospace and defense to nuclear power, steel production, and manufacturing — cranes and hoists are the heartbeat of operations. They keep production lines running, move vital components with precision, and enable projects to meet exacting safety and quality standards. But behind every lift is a skilled technician who makes sure that equipment works flawlessly.
And right now, American Crane & Equipment Corporation is looking for more people to join our team. We are actively hiring Crane & Hoist Technicians who want a career that combines hands-on challenges, day-to-day variety, and meaningful impact.
At American Crane, our Crane & Hoist Technicians are more than service providers — they are protectors of uptime, productivity, and safety. They are problem-solvers, troubleshooters, and partners to some of America’s most important industries.
The Technicians Powering Productivity
When a crane is down, entire operations can grind to a halt. A delayed lift might mean a stalled assembly line or a missed deadline on a high-stakes project. Our technicians prevent that from happening. They inspect, maintain, repair, and modernize overhead lifting systems to keep operations moving smoothly — whether that means ensuring a turbine crane in a power plant is calibrated to millimeter precision or upgrading an older hoist to meet today’s safety standards.
This is highly technical work that requires mechanical expertise, electrical know-how, and an eye for safety. It’s also work that has a direct impact on the nation’s infrastructure and economy.

At American Crane, we are proud of our industry-leading <5% turnover rate, a rare statistic in today’s labor market. Our technicians stay with us for nearly a decade on average because they know they are valued, supported, and given room to grow.
