What advice would you give to young crane operators inspired by your success?
Scott White: Start your career with a company that invests in training and values the next generation. A strong company culture that feels like family is a key factor for success. That’s where you’ll get not only the knowledge but also the values that will carry you forward.
Trevor Jepson: And practically: don’t be afraid to ask questions. Mistakes often come from uncertainty – asking is better than guessing. At City Lifting, we make the effort to find answers – whether internally or with partners like Liebherr. In the end, one thing matters: safety and quality.
Scott, you’ve been invited to defend your title in 2027. How do you feel about that?
Scott White: I’m nervous and excited at the same time! After all, defending a title is a big challenge. Maybe I’ll even volunteer as a tester [laughs] – who better to assess the finalists than someone with 23 years of experience?
Trevor Jepson: We’re proud of Scott and our team. It shows that with passion, solid training, and teamwork, we can achieve great things. And of course, we’ll support Scott again in two years. For us, Game of Cranes is an opportunity to keep moving the industry forward. And for that, we would also like to thank our partner Liebherr.
