Rigging Thank you all very much for contributing to my question. I have chosen for the term 'Rigging'. There were two peers coming up with this term. I will choose for the first poster.

Construction projects The activity takes place in various (offshore, but not always) construction projects, such as (maintenance in) scheepsbouw, windmolens, heavylifting, gasopslag, etc.

@ Michael How do you actually "rig" the things listed inter alia?

@Serge, what else did the fellow do, actually, as per his CV?

Michael Beijer Jul 15, 2014:

@Evgeny: I think the Dutch author probably meant ‘rigging’, as he probably would have used sth like ‘installatiewerkzaamheden’ instead if he didn't. I think the work is probably being done in a port.

It's about installing large objects at chemical mills, I take it.

@Serge: What is your exact context? Is this about ships, aircraft, etc.?

PS: ‘rigging’ is an English word. Hence, ‘rigging’ is probably a pretty good translation of ‘riggerwerkzaamheden’.

See e.g.:

‘rigging:
1. The system of ropes or chains employed to support a ship’s masts ( standing rigging) and to control or set the yards and sails ( running rigging)
2. The ropes and wires supporting the structure of an airship, biplane, hang-glider, or parachute.
3. The system of cables and fittings controlling the flight surfaces and engines of an aircraft.’
