To help celebrate this year's Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) Global Lifting Awareness Day campaign, we decided to get together with our partners at Mazzella Companies to discuss what drives folks to the Crane and Rigging Industry, what sort of career options exist, and how ITI Vice President of Sales, Amanda Long and Mazzella Customer Trainer, JT Farley got to where they are in our industry today. We invite you to take a look and a listen below, and be sure to shout with any questions! Few things excite us more than getting to shine a light on the great opportunities available for those who are looking to join our field.
