Robinson, Galloway Join CIS Team

As Crane Industry Services has expanded its training programs, workshops, and inspection services, two new staff members have joined the team—Fred Robinson, Business Relationship Manager and Shawn Galloway, Crane & Rigging Trainer.

Robinson brings decades of experience in business development and leadership managing complex government service projects. His primary responsibilities include helping CIS customers to receive optimal value from their CIS training. “Fred has a servant’s heart and is passionate about helping people do their job safely,” said Dickinson.

Galloway has more than 25 years of experience in Construction, Military, and Industrial sectors, and is cleared for work in safety sensitive areas. In addition, using his previous experience writing training protocols for unmanned aerial vehicle operations in the military, including drone tactical standards for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.

Galloway is applying this experience to the development of a Skills Measurement Record for simulators in crane training. “First, we identify the most common skills needed, and the most critical skills. We build scenarios for the simulator based on that and write curriculum, evaluations, and metrics to measure performance specific to the utility company’s training needs,” he explained. While the protocol would be customized to each employer and the skill level of employees, it provides a foundation for establishing how much simulator training is needed to achieve a certain skill level.
