Holding an Excavator ticket demonstrates proficiency in precise operation and efficient manipulation of this equipment. This qualification opens avenues for diverse roles within construction, mining, and excavation projects.

Possible Roles

Excavator Operator: As an excavator operator, you'll be responsible for using excavators to dig trenches, foundations, and holes, as well as loading materials and moving earth on construction sites, mines, and various projects requiring excavation.

Pipe and Utility Installation: In infrastructure projects, excavator operators assist in installing pipes, conduits, and utilities beneath the ground, accurately excavating trenches for utilities and underground structures.

Environmental Restoration: Operators with Excavator tickets contribute to environmental restoration by reshaping land and creating water bodies like ponds, lakes, and wetlands, enhancing ecological habitats.

Demolition Specialist: Excavator operators play a key role in controlled demolition, where they skillfully dismantle structures, remove debris, and clear sites for redevelopment using the excavator's precise capabilities.

Mining and Quarrying Operations: Excavator operators are instrumental in mining and quarry operations, extracting minerals, ores, and aggregates. They assist in loading trucks and stockpiling materials.

Landscaping and Earthmoving: Excavator operators play a role in landscaping projects by shaping terrain, creating features like ponds and terraces, and moving earth to achieve desired outdoor aesthetics.

Potential wages could be in the region of $78,000 to $85,000 per year.

Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better.
Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better. Smaller classes better and more knowledgeable teachers who care about the students and more flexible learning (being able to do most of the work from home). TAFE felt like it was just there to keep apprentices there for as long as possible (spending 8 hours to do 2 hours of work) but here it’s all based around the student, come in for the morning to to finish up units then go back to work for the rest of the day.
