Romeo Mondes:
"I didn’t know anything about cranes to begin with, but I really like this job. Everything’s different, and cranes are different, some are easier to operate than others. Some are difficult, and there are also some sites that are harder than others. But I love it up here."

Hadrien (Site manager):
"The crane operator plays a large part in the success of the works. A good crane operator hardly needs to use the radio, he knows exactly where things go, he knows when to hoist and lower. If he knows his job, everything goes smoothly."

"If you wanted to persuade someone to do this job, what would you say?"

"You’ve got to try it, and if the person, like me at the beginning, has never done it before, then he’ll probably enjoy it."
