The career opportunities include jobs on construction sites, quarries, municipalities and waste management. During the screening, drug and alcohol tests may be required.

On the job, operators, besides maneuvering heavy machinery, must also accurately calculate the right loads, follow instructions and make sure that the equipment is maintained well so that they perform their work of installing construction materials, laying down roads or paving in an efficient way.

Skills Training

Since the equipment is huge and powerful, it takes training and skills to operate and maintain them. These skills are usually learned through apprenticeship program involving intensive on the job as well as classroom training. They also learn about maintenance and servicing. Apprenticeship training is a valuable part of the process where each designated trade has a mandatory number of hours which must be completed for a Certificate of Qualification. This duration is built into the Plan of Training and can range from one to five years based on the specific trade.

After this is completed, operators become journey persons and are ready to seek employment. A journey person is defined as someone who has met the requirements for writing the necessary provincial certification examination, has successfully passed the certification examination and is a recipient of the Certificate of Qualification to make them eligible to work as an operator. Work can often be seasonal and involve long hours in different types of weather.

There is a growing need for heavy equipment operators based on the trends affecting the growth in the construction industry, especially in the engineering and highways sector, including mining, forestry, municipalities and agriculture.
