The Value of Crane Safety

New River has secured the ability to host the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) written and practical exams. By doing our exams in-house, we are able to certify our current and upcoming operators on a consistent basis.

Our safety team partners with Glenns Crane and the NCCCO to equip our people with the best practical knowledge and performance standards for handling equipment operations on the job.

We offer quarterly training and exams to keep our crews ready, qualified, and able to meet our customer’s demands across our service territory.

How To Get Certified

To earn a Crane Operating Certification you must complete:

  • The classroom portion of training and examination with a passing score
  • Set hours operating under a certified NCCCO operator on the project
  • Pass the practical examination
  • Pass the qualification process issued by NRE

We’re proud to say that since we have offered in-house certifications, our candidates have maintained a 90% pass rate thanks to the commitment our trainers, operators, and management put into our employees.
