Protected Against Outsourcing / Globalization Consider globalization, over the years we have seen many jobs migrate around the globe all dictated by lower labor costs. Call centers have gone to India and manufacturing has been outsourced to China and truthfully if your job can be outsourced to anywhere where it can be done less expensively by your employer it most likely will. Heavy equipment technicians are secure in knowing that their jobs cannot be outsourced as the equipment must be used locally and therefore serviced either on site or locally, it’s just not cost effective to ship the equipment overseas to have it serviced and then sent back.

Opportunities Across Multiple Industries Another important point to consider is this is one of the few trades that cross over into so many different industries. Heavy Equipment Mechanics work in Mining, Agriculture, Forestry, Oil & Gas, Construction and basically any industry that uses heavy equipment.

Travel Opportunities If you love travel this career can open you to working anywhere in the world as there is always a demand for good mechanics worldwide.

Excellent Career Advancement Once you gain experience this career can open doors into management positions such as Fleet manager, Fleet Director, Service Manager, Branch Manager, Fleet Supervisor, Shop Foreman and Lead Hand just to name a few.

Excellent Compensation Finally, of all the types of mechanics who service and repair machinery, Heavy Equipment Mechanics sit at the top of the food chain in terms of compensation. With a few exceptions, Heavy Equipment Mechanics are some of the highest paid mechanics in the world!
