John’s Answer

The best place to gather information on the Heavy Equipment Operator position, what training/certifications/licenses are needed, and where you can get this training is to ask the International Union of Operating Engineers. They should be able to answer your questions on the Heavy Equipment Operator position.

Another general information website on salary/wages/occupational training, etc. can be found with the little research on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and their Occupational Outlook Handbook.

Lastly I recommend website research on Heavy Equipment Operator Training on the CAT website as well as the Associated Training Services site. This might be the best place to find out what training/certifications/licenses one might get while attending their schools.

Good Luck - John Fening
