In response to the call of the Binhai New Area’s “Hundred Enterprises, Ten Thousand Positions” intensive training initiative, and in thorough implementation of the Group’s “Safety and Quality Month” spirit, Yuangong Group vigorously promoted the “craftsman spirit” of striving for excellence, inspired frontline employees to hone their skills and pursue outstanding performance, and strengthened the company’s foundation in workplace safety and technical expertise. In mid-June 2025, the Group organized a crane‑operator skills competition under the theme “Craftsmanship Builds Skills, Safety Forges Quality.” Since the announcement of the competition, employees at the Group’s two major bases in Zhejiang and Shandong have enthusiastically registered; following preliminary screening, more than 150 contestants qualified to participate, including 104 from the Zhejiang region.

This driving‑operation skills competition was jointly organized by the two major bases in Zhejiang and Shandong. The contest featured a rigorous, scientifically structured program, comprising a theoretical written exam on June 18 and a hands‑on practical challenge on June 20. Theory formed the foundation (accounting for 30%), while real‑world practice honed the skills (70%), providing a comprehensive assessment of participants’ knowledge and job‑specific competencies. Rankings were determined based on overall scores, with each regional division awarding one first prize, two second prizes, and three third prizes.

On the afternoon of June 18, as the safety training for steel‑structure fabrication plant crane operations concluded, the theoretical written exam for overhead cranes commenced simultaneously. The exam focused on essential theoretical knowledge, including crane safety operating procedures and equipment principles, with the aim of strengthening the theoretical foundation for safe and compliant operations. Despite the sweltering weather that day, the participants remained energized and highly motivated, carefully analyzing each question and answering with composure, their solid theoretical grounding clearly evident.

On the afternoon of June 20, the practical crane‑operating competition kicked off simultaneously at the Zhejiang Company’s Binhai Base and the Shandong Company’s workshop. The hands‑on phase was highly demanding: competitors had to execute complex tasks—such as precise crane positioning and heavy‑load lifting—within a set time limit, putting their operational proficiency, accuracy, and emergency‑response capabilities to the test. Prior to the event, the judges underscored the scoring criteria for potential penalties and repeatedly urged participants to adhere to safety protocols and meticulous operational details, ensuring that the competition remained fair, safe, and well‑organized. On the competition floor, contestants from both Zhejiang and Shandong demonstrated steady, controlled handling, racing against the clock; every movement was executed with strict attention to precision and compliance. A tense yet spirited atmosphere pervaded the venue.

After fierce competition, contestants from the Zhejiang Company—Shen Guangyan, Yuan Weixing, Wang Yingming, Wei Sanjiu, Wang Zhongshan, and Liu Wenzhong—and those from the Shandong Company—Zhao Jie, Sun Luqing, Cheng Yuliang, Cao Yuanqiang, Ren Fajin, and Gao Yanjin—each secured first-, second-, or third-place honors. All were awarded certificates of merit and prize packages presented by the Group, in recognition of their exceptional skills and outstanding contributions to workplace safety and quality improvement.

 

This driving‑operation skills competition serves not only as a comprehensive assessment of frontline employees’ technical proficiency but also as a pivotal initiative for Yuegong to strengthen its safety foundation, elevate quality standards, and foster a culture of craftsmanship. We hope that, through this event, we can use competition to drive training and learning, encourage all employees to hone their skills at their posts, ignite their enthusiasm for work and entrepreneurship, and contribute even more to the company’s high‑quality development.

 

Shandong Company Welding Skills Competition

 

Notably, during the “Safety and Quality Month” campaign, Shandong Company responded enthusiastically by not only participating in this crane‑operating skills competition but also organizing a welding‑skills contest, sparking a new wave of on‑the‑job training and skill‑development initiatives. These efforts have injected strong momentum into advancing the reform of industrial workforce development and fostering the spirit of craftsmanship.
