U.S. Sees Job Growth for Heavy Equipment Operators

There are a number of bridges, roads and utility systems that need repair and maintenance. Skilled operators will be needed to assist on these jobs and other infrastructure related work. The demand for operators may vary from state to state. Trained operators "with the ability to operate multiple types of equipment should have the best job opportunities."* Training and experience are some of the ways to become a competitive applicant to fill these positions.
