Rick learns how to operate excavators, bulldozers and cranes at the Operating Engineers Training Institute of Ontario in Morrisburg.
My boyfriend is trying to find a heavy equipment school. And the only ones i have been able to find are out of state. Does anybody know of any schools in Washington?
first I'll ask a question , does he have any experience operating heavy equipment ?
Ive operated heavy equipment for almost 30 years , I'm not sure of any schools anymore that will teach the trade other than the manufacturers themselves when they sell their equipment to people .
my suggestion for what its worth , is to start with contractors in the field , and grow from there

Hi, I am looking for a career change. I am a 40 year old male. I have been a tree trimmer all my life. Body parts especially my knees are starting to give out. My back is also in bad shape. Its pain free for the moment but there is good potential for pain.
I'm looking for someoness opinion on my heavy equipment
school idea. I haven't done alot of construction work in my life and I wouldn't want to start as a bottom grunt at the age of 40. Would learning to use the heavy equipment be a good choice for me. I have done work in smaller equipment like backhoes, bobcats, lift trucks etc and I not only enjoy but I usually learn pretty quick how do to a decent job with them. Do these jobs pay well, do these jobs offer health benefits and retirement plans. Are they year round or seasonal. Is travel an option in the winter to keep up the hours. Any information I get towards this so I can make a decision would be helpful.
Thanks Everyone

I would also check into construction companies and such in your area to see what the entry level pay and benefits are for heavy equipment operators...also to make sure there are jobs available in your area.
As far as whether it is seasonal or year around, it would depend on where you live...in the south construction work goes throughout the winter while in the north it is seasonal. Also, you might consider state highway crews...that way if you live in the snow country, you might be able to fill in in the winter time plowing snow. Most are also union where you would have good benefits.
The one thing that concerns me from the information in your question is your health. Joints do not get any better nor do backs, and heavy equipment takes a toll on both knees and backs.
I would suggest that you find some people that operate heavy equipment before sinking your money into school...and talk to them about the physical requirements and such.
You might consider going into trucking instead of heavy equipment...$30-60k a year after your first year and the equipment is air ride for the most part.
Whatever you decide, good luck!
and where is it located??
Are you talking about an EO "A" school? If you are, then it's about 3 months long and at Ft. Leonard, MO.
I live in New York and I am looking to get into a good school for heavy equipment. I am open to the possibility of training in another state if I need to. I hear Georgia School of Construction is a pretty good one. ATS I heard isnt all that great, but I don't know where to start looking for a decent school. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
There are several depending on how far you want to travel but this should help you:

What are the Functions of Heavy Equipment Operation School ...
A heavy equipment operation school is an institution which creates employment opportunities for potential job-seekers by training them with the basic knowledge and skills required to work as a construction operator or heavy equipment operators. According to U.S Department of Labor, at present there are over 100,000 jobs in heavy equipment operation and related fields and the demand will grow rapidly by 2018.
In the specially designed courses which these operation schools offer, candidates are taken through an apprenticeship program where they are taught how to handle light machines, and then eventually they are made to work on heavy machines like wheel loaders, cranes, excavators, bull-dozers, and front-end loaders. The apprenticeship program helps the candidates learn certain dos and don’ts which simple knowledge-based materialistic education cannot impart.
In a heavy equipment operation school, the training module is divided into a basic introductory level and a couple of advanced levels. In the introductory level the candidates are made familiar with safety measures to be maintained at construction sites, together with introductions to mathematical procedures used in operation of heavy equipments, and blueprints. The other levels involve training in operation and maintenance of light and heavy equipments.
