Dutch term or phrase: hijsuitvoerder
context:

"Hiervoor staat een diversiteit aan moderne mobiele telekranen, mobiele torenkranen, rupskranen, minikranen, verreikers, bakwagens, trailers en diepladers tot uw beschikking. Onze kundige en ervaren medewerkers worden regelmatig bijgeschoold en zijn uiteraard in het bezit van de benodigde certificaten. Desgewenst zullen onze **hijsuitvoerders** u ondersteunen en adviseren bij het bedenken van innovatieve oplossingen in combinatie met de eventueel aan te vragen ontheffingen en vergunningen. Dit kan op uw verzoek door onze engineering in een hijsplan verwerkt worden."

I've seen a few different translations of this, such as:
• lifting supervisor
• lifting foreman
• general foreman
• rigging superintendent
• crane supervisor
• lift(ing) supervisor
etc.

Anyone?

Explanation:
Alternative 1: lifting foreman.
Alternative 2: foreman for lifting operations.
Alternative 3: foreman of lifting operations.
Alternative 4: lifting operations foreman.
Many alternatives are possible, depending on company jargon etc. The point is that in industrial engineering "uitvoerder" means "foreman" 90% of the time (maybe 99%).

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: The responsibilities of a 'hijsuitvoerder' (as set down in the Richtlijn Torenkranen) seem to go beyond that of a crane/lifting operations foreman and are indeed closer to those of the 'appointed person for lifting operations' (aka lift planner).

(BrE; export depot) hoistman; hoist operative


Explanation:
As already mooted by the asker and others, crane supervisor had actually been my first 'Health & Safety Executive' thought for UK building sites. Lifting supervisor, though, does Google for Singapore....

By contrast, at the export warehouses or depots I have worked in and out of, I'm sure that there were hoistmen / women = female operatives (!) in action.

Range of seniority of uitvoerder from supervior or foreman to merely an executive or operative. Cassell's: performer: (plan) executor !; (bouwwerk) building supervisor.


Example sentence(s):
  • Definition of 'hoistman' hoistman in British English (ˈhɔɪstmən) noun Word forms: plural -men someone who operates a hoist After that Freddy became a lamplighter, a tram conductor, night porter, hoistman, labourer, telephone operator, garage clerk,
  • UK crane supervisor: Working as part of a team to ensure lifting operations comply with the law and they secure the health and safety of employees and of all those affected by the operations Co-ordinating and supervising all lifting activities....

appointed person in lifting operations

What is an Appointed Person?
In lifting operations, an appointed person is the person responsible for the execution and safety of a lifting operation. Although duties may be delegated to others, it is the appointed person who retains the responsibility of the operation.
An appointed person may also be a crane supervisor or crane operator in addition to being an appointed person. The role is a very responsible one as the appointed person must have good working knowledge of lifting operations and safe working.
Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), an employer must ensure that each lifting operation is planned by a ‘competent person’. BS 7121 Code of Practice for Safe Use of Cranes, states that “the competent person for planning lifting operations is referred to as the appointed person”. This means that the competent person or appointed person are the same thing and may be used interchangeably – it just so happens that appointed person is the recognised title for this role and is widely used and recognised in the construction industry.

What Are the Responsibilities of an Appointed Person?
BS 7121 recommends that the appointed person in any lifting operation carries out approval of all risk assessments, lift categorisation and method statements. The appointed person will often be the person who selects the correct crane/s and lifting accessories for the job too.
The appointed person will also give instruction to other employees on the operation, supervise work and consult with other responsible bodies to ensure that work is undertaken as safely as possible.
The responsibilities of an appointed person mean that it is advantageous for anyone wanting to do this job has a background in lifting operations. An appointed person must be able to assess site conditions and equipment and make recommendations based on the type of task being carried out. This is all easier to do with a background in lifting.
Despite this, it isn’t necessary for an appointed person to have any formal qualification to carry out their job; legislation places emphasis on competency and it is the employer’s role to ensure that an appointed person is competent.
Competent is often judged by several factors, including experience but it is very likely that a relevant qualification will be asked for.
In the UK, there are several ways a person can demonstrate their competency to be a lifting operations appointed person but one of the most easily recognised, and accepted qualifications is CPCS.

agree  Kitty Brussaard: As you can see from the 'opleidingskolom' in my ref above, the job of 'uitvoerder hijswerken' is positioned between 'meewerkend voorman' and 'manager'. This suggests it's essentially a foreman rather than a manager. Cf. also the two LinkedIn profiles.

  -> Dank je, Kitty. Sounds a bit like a project manager and supervisor. Perhaps they have a similar function in the UK. In other words, what is the UK equivalent?
