Heavy equipment operators run excavators, loaders, dozers, graders, mobile cranes, and other large machinery used in construction, mining, forestry, and infrastructure. Crane operators in particular hold high-value provincial certifications.
Most work is project-based. Travel pay and per diem are common for distant sites. Mobile crane work requires a provincial Hoisting Engineer licence with significant earning potential, especially for oilsands and industrial sites.
