OPERATING ENGINEER APPRENTICESHIP OPPORTUNITIES
"Heavy Equipment" is a blanket term for numerous types of machines: Cranes, bulldozers, front end loaders, rollers, backhoes, graders, dredges, hoists, drills, pumps, and compressors are just some of the equipment used by Operating Engineers.
Our members cover a variety of jobs classifications in industries such as highway and building construction, mining, and utility work such as water and sewer excavation.
In most cases, if you can push, pull, pump, or lift material, rolls on tires or crawls on tracks like a tank, it falls under the jurisdiction of the IUOE. Operating Engineers take pride in the fact that virtually all construction projects; they are the first workers on the job, and the last off.
Although each member has a favorite type of machinery to operate, Operating Engineers are masters of a variety of equipment. This versatility keeps them employable, since employers' needs vary from project to project.
Heavy Equipment mechanics are also very important contributors on any construction job, requiring a thorough knowledge of many types of equipment. Skilled mechanics are critical because if the equipment isn't running when needed, an entire project can come to a screeching halt.
