One of the most important decisions a future heavy equipment operator will have to make is choosing the right training school. There are many heavy equipment training schools both nationally and locally, so choosing the right one for the individual is essential in landing that next job in the construction industry. It is imperative that the proper school has a great training program and experienced instructors. These instructors should have real world experience and preferably have been foremen and supervisors in industry. An experienced staff is very important in properly teaching a trainee how to operate the varying pieces of machinery required to become a heavy equipment operator. This initial training is of the utmost importance in reaching that goal of becoming a certified operator.

Almost as important as the actual training is the training school’s career services program. How will the school assist the operator during and after training to land the right job in the right location? Many schools will train their operators, and then, they are done with the new operator. It is important to find a school that will give an operator personal career counseling; this should include interview training, resume writing assistance and job leads that can assist an operator in landing that first job as a heavy equipment operator. The school should be constantly networking with trucking firms to ensure the best jobs are being filled by their newly trained operators.

In choosing a heavy equipment training school, it is vital for a prospective operator’s future that a reputable and successful school is chosen. Each operator should do his due diligence and research multiple schools. During this research, the question must be asked “what will this school do for me to help me find my next career?” It is of the utmost importance that the school will put in as much effort as needed to get each of its freshly certified operators a quality job. The school with the most experienced staff and a highest quality career services program will usually be the best choice in the end.

One of the trends that reappears on a regular basis in our heavy equipment job listings is the requirement for a commercial drivers license (or CDL). Employers are now trying to employ workers who bring several different skills to the workplace. It does make sense, if an employee has more than one skill, then an employer can assign them tasks based on the employers need at that time – it’s certainly better than having to find menial jobs, or to have an employee sitting around doing nothing.

New heavy equipment operators will find that a CDL may make them more attractive to employers. However, it could also mean you are left to do the more mundane duties that are found in every workplace. I wouldn’t treat that as negative, however, since it can actually help your long term career prospects. What do I mean by mundane? Loading heavy equipment onto trailers, driving the trailer to a work site, unloading the heavy equipment, then returning ready for the next job – sound mundane – it probably is day after day. However, to begin with, you are playing an important role, and more importantly, you are gaining experience, albeit limited, on a range of heavy equipment.

Employers will, over time, allocate heavy equipment operational tasks, and that is where you can really start to develop skills and earn the trust and confidence of your employer. Before you know it, you are on permanent heavy equipment operation duties, and another rookie has joined the ranks to do the transporting. This is a common transition that occurs in most professions – you start at the bottom and work your way to the top.

Heavy equipment operators with CDLs are in high demand. Whether you’re a rookie looking to boost you employment prospects, or seasoned operator, that commercial drivers license could make a huge difference to your career – just check our heavy equipment job listings to see what employers are looking for.

As we are so close to Christmas and New Year, many employers reduce their recruitment efforts preferring to wait until the new year when there are less distractions. That doesn’t mean that all employers stop recruiting – many are still hard at work, even on Christmas Day, and they have a constant need for operators. Our Job Site will continue to list any vacancies over this holiday period, so if you’re looking for work in the heavy equipment, truck driving or crane operations, check by regularly to see what’s on offer.
