We ensure skill, safety & experience
There is no margin for error in today’s fast-paced world of construction. Operating Engineers must be fully trained and experienced on real equipment in real world settings before they step foot on a job.
Real-world training
Our members are trained in real-world facilities on the latest models of equipment, including those with the newest technology and GPS systems. We offer comprehensive programs so apprentices, mechanics, field engineers, journeymen and women and members can perfect their skills, cross train to learn new ones, and stay ahead of changes in equipment and technology.
Full-time instructors provide everything from heavy equipment operator training, training in emergency response, hazardous waste operations and OSHA requirements to keep contractors supplied year-round with safe, skilled, and efficient operators.
State-of-the-art training centers, equipment and technology
With a total area of nearly 60 acres in New Jersey and New York, we offer more than 90 pieces of equipment, simulators and instrumentation. Equipment includes a variety of cranes, new millers and pavers, backhoes, dozers, sidebooms, pile drivers and more.
Our highly acclaimed training program for CCO certification is further supported by OECP training provided through the IUOE.
