Buckner Companies is an industry leader, and are always interested in recruiting and training good people to be employees for our growing business.  A career in Steel Erection, Crawler Crane Operations, and Industrial Rigging industries require proper training and knowledge. Our trained employees are equipped with the necessary tools for professionalism, quality workmanship, and safety to prevail on the job.  NCCER credentials and training provide Buckner employees with a leading edge in our industry.  Whether you are new to the industry, or an experienced professional, there is always more to learn. Buckner Companies strives to offer continuous education for all of our employees in and off the field.

The National Center for Construction Education and Research, or NCCER, was formed through over 125 construction CEOs, as well as other industry leaders to improve and evolve construction craft training. Follow these guidelines for receiving your industry-recognized credentials:

• A participant may complete NCCER curriculum through Buckner Companies, a NCCER Accredited Training Sponsor
• When the Core Curriculum, or another full level of a craft, is complete, the participant will receive a transcript, certificate, and initial wallet card
• The NCCER Registry System (ANR) will provide verification of the participant’s training credentials and certifications.
• NCCER certifications available through Buckner Companies include Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Rigger as well as Signal Person. These certifications are achieved by attaining a passing score on both the written assessment and corresponding practical exam for each subject area.

NCCER industry credentials and certifications allow participants to provide easy verification of training and knowledge for current or potential employers.  At Buckner Companies, we recognize the importance of training and knowledge for our employees.  Looking towards the future, we encourage current employees and potential applicants to complete the proper NCCER industry credentials and certifications associated with their positions.

As the job market for iron workers, crane operators, riggers and signal men grows, so does the need for qualified employees.  An estimated 13,000 new jobs will be added in the Specialty Contracting industry within the next ten years.  In an effort to provide students and professionals with industry recognized credentials and skills, NCCER maintains a nationally recognized credentialing and certification system.  Call Kevin Leonard with Buckner Companies Safety division today for more information on NCCER training.
