Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A stabilizer operator is a specialist who operates outriggers (stabilizers) of large machinery at construction sites to safely stabilize the machinery.
Description
At the site, before heavy equipment or crane operations, extend the outrigger (stabilizer) to the designated position, check the ground and level, and adjust the machine's tilt. During operation, operate monitors and levers to monitor the pressure and load of the stabilizing device. After completion, retract and inspect, and also perform maintenance and minor repairs. High attention to detail and safety awareness are required, and work in coordination with civil engineering workers and crane operators.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to infrastructure development and construction needs. On the other hand, the introduction of remote operation and automation technologies is progressing, so acquiring remote operation skills will be important in the future.
