Welcome to a look into Heavy Equipment Operation

Can you see yourself at the controls of a bulldozer, a back hoe, a road grader, or a trench excavator? Does the thought of someday walking down a street and pointing to a bridge, a highway, or a building and saying, "I made that" appeal to you? If so, you may want to consider a career as a construction equipment operator. Your work will be strenuous but you’ll be able to use these awesome machines every day to turn the visions of architects and engineers into concrete reality.

Construction equipment operators use machinery to move construction materials, dig soil, pave and surface roads, and much more. Construction equipment is becoming more computerized and takes special training to operate.
