Every work day, Josh Wiggins, the crane’s operator and the building’s highest-altitude worker, climbs up several ladders into the cockpit where he maneuvers precious cargo, like parts, materials, tools — and lunch — from the ground to the various floors of the tower. Wiggins decided to pursue crane operation after falling in love with the night sky view over Century City as an apprentice operator. His view from the top of the ascending Wilshire Grand is the best he’s had on a job and he chronicles what he sees from his sky office on Instagram. Follow him at @tower_guy.
