Frequently Asked Questions

Crane Supervisors earn an average annual salary of £36K – £58K, according to Glassdoor. However, this will depend on what qualifications you hold and how many years of experience you have.

Crane Supervisors are responsible for coordinating and supervising lifting operations. This includes working alongside the Appointed Person, Slinger Signaller, and Crane Operator.

Many start their careers as Slinger Singaller and progress to Crane Supervisors. This means you can perform both roles, just not at the same time.

To upgrade from CPCS Red to Blue, you will need to complete a Level 4 NVQ in Supervising Lifts.
