Free Mid-level rigger CV (2026)

A mid-level rigger CV should show you can manage lifting operations, coordinate crews, and follow safety protocols under UK law (LOLER, PUWER) with minimal supervision. UK employers value proven hands-on experience combined with recognised qualifications (CPCS, NVQ/SVQ, CSCS) and clear examples of problem solving on site.

You will build credibility faster when your CV links daily tasks to outcomes such as reduced downtime, faster setup times, or zero safety incidents.

Start with a concise professional summary, then list key skills, work history, qualifications, and education in that order. The summary should be two to three lines that state your years of experience, primary rigging environments (offshore, onshore, construction), and a key achievement.

Use a reverse-chronological CV with a focus on responsibilities and measurable results rather than long lists of tools. In the UK, consider including a dedicated Qualifications or Certifications section (CPCS/CSCS cards, NVQ/SVQ) and your right-to-work status.

For education, reference GCSEs, A-levels or equivalents, UCAS where applicable, and any UK university degrees (including Russell Group institutions).

Write a short targeted summary that frames your experience and goals. Example: Rigger with five years of offshore and industrial rigging experience, CPCS crane operations qualified, skilled at planning lifts and training crew members to meet production targets while complying with LOLER and PUWER.

Keep it role-specific and avoid vague praise.

• •Lift planning and execution
• •Hoisting, slinging, and load calculations
• •Rigging hardware selection and setup
• •Signaller duties and clear radio communication
• •Reading and interpreting technical drawings and schematics

• •Crew coordination, supervision, and mentoring
• •Right-to-work in the UK and documentation for UK sites
• •CSCS/CPCS cards and other UK-recognised qualifications

For each role, begin with your job title, employer, location, and dates in DD/MM/YYYY format. Then add 4 to 6 bullet points that start with a strong action verb and include context, action, and result where possible.

Example bullets:

• •Led a six-person crew to plan and execute lifts up to several tonnes, ensuring compliance with LOLER and PUWER.
• •Coordinated multiple lifts within tight schedules, improving on-site productivity while maintaining safety standards.
• •Implemented toolbox talks and RAMS, contributing to a reduction in safety incidents.
• •Trained junior crew members on rigging best practices, raising overall rigging quality and consistency.
• •Verified right-to-work status and eligibility to work in the UK for the crew and subcontractors.

Note: When applying for healthcare-related roles (where relevant in the UK), salary information should align with NHS pay bands. For other rigging roles, present salary ranges using UK market norms.
