Operating Engineers Local 450 provides our business partners all the heavy haul, earth moving, crane and rigging professionals needed for their daily operations.

Our local union has been completely rebuilt in the last few years. With a modern-day outlook, revamped business model, newly elected staff and office personnel – we have been aggressively expanding our presence in Southeast Texas.
