Heavy Equipment Job Listings: September 1, 2012

General employment across the United States has been patchy over the last 12 months. Some sectors are definitely growing, and one of those sectors is the construction industry. This has led to an increase in demand for heavy equipment operators, crane operators, and truck drivers. As these workers are drawn into the construction industry, the demand for these workers in non-construction areas increases.

This makes for a great environment for those looking to get a start as heavy equipment operators, crane operators, and truck drivers. If you’re interested in a great well-paid career in any of these areas, contact us for more information on training. As an example, you can complete a heavy equipment training program in as little as three weeks and be ready to start your new career.

How To Successfully Start A Heavy Equipment Operator Career

You can spend weeks, months, or even years training in a particular field. That doesn’t mean you’ll ever find employment in that field. It doesn’t matter the type of career – employment relies on a lot more than just training or skills. So what does it take to find a job in the heavy equipment field?

If we assume that skills are not the issue, then finding employment comes down to two things: knowing where the jobs are and knowing how to best apply for those jobs. You cannot isolate those issues either. You may know where the jobs are, however, if you don’t know how to best approach potential employers, you’ll most likely not make the interview stage. It goes without saying that it’s pointless knowing how apply for a job vacancy if you don’t know where those vacancies are.

ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training Schools have solved those problems by including a free lifetime access to a career services department with your training. When you start one of our training programs (and that includes crane operations and truck driver training), one of our career services personnel will work with you to help develop your career. This assistance includes soft skills training in areas such as resume creation and interview techniques. Our career services personnel will also work with you to identify potential employers related to the location and type of work you want to undertake.

Graduates also have access to our employer database and a dedicated jobs website. Employers frequently list jobs on this website (and we publish many of these jobs on this blog every Saturday) and review resumes left by graduates. How do you successfully start a heavy equipment operator career? You get the right training, then you make the most use of any career assistance offered by your training school. If your training school doesn’t offer career services, then you may find it difficult to gain that all important first job in the industry.

Heavy Equipment Job Listings: August 25, 2012

It’s becoming more apparent each month that we as a nation are slowly climbing out of the economic doldrums that have caused so much grief over the last five years. Construction is one industry that generally leads recovery so it’s no surprise to see a steady demand for construction workers, and that includes by heavy equipment and crane operators. Truck driving jobs are always going to be there – we have to eat and there are few people who can grow their own food. So where are the jobs?

We have a website dedicated to employment for heavy equipment operators, truck drivers, and crane operators. It’s interesting to see where the jobs are each month. More interesting is that these locations have had multiple job vacancies.

Heavy Equipment Operators

              Truck Drivers

                      Crane Operators

                          If you are looking for employment in these fields, then you should be checking our job site every couple of days. New jobs are coming in on a regular basis, and in most cases, they are from employers who are looking for more than one operator or driver. If you’re interested in a career as a truck driver, heavy equipment operator, or crane operator, then talk to us about your training options. You can complete a career change in as little as three weeks if your heart’s really in it.

                          Heavy Equipment Job Listings: August 18, 2012

                          This week’s jobs listing has an interesting mix of heavy equipment operations, truck driving, and crane operations. There is still a steady demand for all three occupations although we have seen a trend where employers have either shown a preference for those with multiple skills (heavy equipment operations and truck driving for example), or have actually listed that as a requirement in their vacancies. This week’s jobs are more straightforward, however, if you do have multiple skills, you’ll find yourself far more employable. If you need to add skills, consider a heavy equipment training or truck driver training program. You can broaden the range of skills in just a few weeks.

                          Heavy Equipment Job Listings: August 4, 2012

                          The construction industry tends to run in cycles when it comes to employment requirements. This is often caused by a domino effect – a major project commences hiring and this attracts a lot of interest from heavy equipment operators, truck drivers, and crane operators. As operators and drivers move into those positions, they leave behind a vacuum that needs to be filled.

                          As a career option, operating either heavy equipment or cranes provides an individual with options. They can stay with one employer for decades, or they can move from employer to employer looking for jobs that are rewarding and challenging. This week we are not as hectic when it comes to job options, however, in recent weeks we have been inundated with opportunities – that’s the nature of the construction business. Some of the latest jobs include:
