The OSHA accredited Heavy Duty Operator Training Certificate enables you to apply for many different, and lucrative job opportunities in almost any industry. As an OSHA training provider our training courses are rated as foremost in Nigeria and across Africa with excellent pass rates by our candidates. Heavy equipment operators operate backhoes, bulldozers, reach stackers, pay loaders, excavators, forklifts, cranes and other similar heavy equipments. These operators work in Road Building, forestry, Logging, Industrial, Commercial, Institutional, and Heavy Construction and Mining industries, pipeline and logging companies. For example, pipes carry oil through long distances and the heavy equipment operator digs the ground to lay the pipes and later, smoothing the dirt over it. While some operators start their own businesses, others with experience get jobs as supervisors or safety officers. To become a heavy equipment operator, the individual must be a responsible and safety-conscious individual with the following qualities: · Physical strength and stamina with good hearing and vision · Manual and finger dexterity with eye-hand and foot coordination, depth perception, good reflex skills · Aptitude for mechanics and computer skills · Communicative, self-disciplined and aptitude for problem solving · Ability to work independently · Team spirit They must be at least 18 years old and possess a commercial driver’s license, and certification for specific equipment, preferably with experience. 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.

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.
