The last ten years have been tough for many employment sectors as one financial crisis after another struck the world. Our own economy suffered, and for a long time, private sector investment in new buildings came to a virtual standstill. If it wasn’t for the huge investment in public infrastructure by state and federal governments, the construction industry would also have ground to a halt. That investment could prove to be a wise one in the long run – for one thing, it kept construction industry workers employed and in the industry.

As summer rolls in, the national economy looks to be strengthening to the point that private sector investment in now starting to find its way into construction. The construction industry workforce has remained strong although there are still shortages in many areas, one being heavy equipment operators. This is good news for those looking to undertake heavy equipment operator training and looking for work. With both public and private dollars being spent on construction, the demand will continue to grow, at least until the government funded projects come to an end.

It won’t just be for this summer either. Long term job prospects are even stronger with demand for new workers increasing due to the age of many of our current operators – in short, they are baby boomers who are ready to enter retirement. As the economy grows, private sector investment in new shopping malls, new factories and new office complexes will increase, and this too will create a demand for more heavy equipment operators.

Now is a good time to consider a career as a heavy equipment operator. Three weeks of training will have you work ready, just in time for the summer. Finding your first job won’t be that difficult, especially if you have the assistance of our career services personnel – they know who’s looking to hire, and more importantly, they know how to prepare you for the application and interview processes. Heavy equipment operators are well paid and work in situations that can be challenging yet at the same time enjoyable.

This week’s jobs include two that reinforce our belief that heavy equipment operators should have a commercial drivers license. There are two employers who are looking for truck drivers and heavy equipment operators – if you can fulfill both rolls, it makes it much easier to find employment. This week’s jobs on our jobs website include:

Truck Drivers

DUAL TRUCKING is hiring drivers (they are also looking for operators)

Last week’s focus was on truck drivers, and the trend continues. Truck driving jobs from last week include vacancies in:

• Lynchburg, VA
• San Antonio, TX
• Williston, ND
• Claremore, OK
• Southern, WI.
• Madison, WI.

If you’re looking for a new career, then heavy equipment operations and truck driving are two that are in constant demand. We can have you ready for a career as a heavy equipment operator in as little as three weeks, a little longer for truck drivers that undertake the full truck driver training program.

Heavy equipment operators who can operate a range of equipment are always in high demand. If you have commercial drivers license (CDL) and some experience transporting heavy equipment on flat bed tractor trailers, then you’ll be in even higher demand. Commercial construction companies are always looking for ways to cut costs, and being able to employ one person who is able to do a range of tasks is always going to be cost effective.

The downside for operators is that you can expect to be moved from equipment to equipment as the demand arises. This movement is seen as a big plus to many heavy equipment operators as it adds variety to their working life. Having a CDL often means there is no waiting around as well. Once you complete one job, you load your equipment onto the trailer and move on to the next task.

When you think about it, completing the required training to become a heavy equipment operator and completing the requirements for a CDL makes a lot of sense. There’s three weeks training to become a heavy equipment operator and as little as two weeks training to gain a CDL (if you work on the theory side of your training at home). If you want the complete CDL course, then you’re looking at an extra three weeks – however, that’s eight weeks in total and you have all the skills that employers are looking for.

If you are already a trained heavy equipment operator, then adding a commercial drivers license to your repertoire could be the boost your career needs. Finding work will be easier and you may even find your wage rates are a little higher. You’ll certainly find your work more diverse and far more interesting.

The jobs market is as fickle as ever this week with almost every job listed on our dedicated jobs website being for truck drivers. It does make for a change since we have seen a domination of heavy equipment operators during the last month. If you are interested in any of these jobs, or want more information, then visit our jobs website. Keep a close watch as new job opportunities are coming in all the time. The latest jobs include:

Truck Drivers

You can expect to see an increase in the number of truck driving jobs on offer in the coming years. We are losing drivers (through retirement) faster than we can recruit new trainees, so if you’re looking for an in-demand career, then consider truck driving. As you can see from today’s list, even local drivers are in demand. You only require five weeks of truck driver training to be in a position to gain your commercial drivers license, and from there, the roads are yours to conquer.

On Thursday we mentioned how positive the jobs outlook for heavy equipment operators is as we head towards 2020. The number of jobs to come into our jobs website over the last month certainly supports this positive outlook, and with summer almost upon us, job vacancies will only increase. Now is a great time to undertake heavy equipment training – you’ll be finished just in time for the late spring/summer hiring season.
