Where a high rigger can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a high rigger already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

High riggers assemble and hoist temporary suspension structures on heights to support performance equipment. Their work is based on instruction, plans and calculations. Their job can include rope access, working above colleagues, assemble constructions to lift performers and lifting heavy loads, which makes it a high risk occupation. They work indoor as well as outdoor. They cooperate with ground riggers to unload and assemble constructions on ground level.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a high rigger already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
