• Receive and log crane requests; verify customer, date/time, area/port, scope, duration, contact and readiness details before placing work on the proposed schedule.

• Publish a rolling 72-hour lookahead and next-day crane schedule. Send daily schedule notifications and clearly mark additions, cancellations, relocations, timing changes and unconfirmed requests.
• Coordinate with UIS crane supervision, crane foremen, warehouse, laydown, MCC, contractors and customer contacts regarding material availability, appointment conflicts and site readiness.
• Track external approvals, platform access status, crane conflicts and required field follow-up; escalate unapproved or unresolved work before scheduling is represented as confirmed.
