Heavy Equipment Operator
Heavy Equipment Operator
Certificate Description
The Heavy Equipment Operator certificate offers hands-on training, preparing individuals to use machinery to move construction materials, earth, and other heavy materials at construction sites, mines, and sometimes your backyard.
Construction equipment operators use equipment that clears and grades land to prepare it for construction of roads, buildings, and neighborhoods.
The operation of much of this equipment is becoming more complex as a result of computerized controls. Global Positioning System (GPS) technology also is being used to help with grading and leveling activities. In addition to controlling the equipment, construction equipment operators also transport, set up, and inspect the equipment, make adjustments, and perform some maintenance and minor repairs.
