Below are just some of the career pathways our graduates follow.
Civil and Mining - Plant Operation
Civil and mining plant operators work with specialised heavy machinery to support major infrastructure and resource projects. In civil construction, operators help build roads and bridges, whilse also clearing and preparing sites. In the mining sector, operators assist with the extraction with the extraction and movement of valuable resources such as iron ore, lithium and other minerals.
Front-end Loader
Front-end loaders are large, versatile machines equipped with a wide bucket mounted on hydraulic arms. Operators use these machines to load, transport, and move materials such as soil, gravel, sand, and rock across construction, mining and infrastructure projects.
Grader
Graders are heavy machines fitted with a long adjustable blade beneath the vehicle. They are used to create smooth, level surfaces and are essential for road construction, site preparation and drainage works.
Excavator
Excavators are highly versatile machines featuring a rotating cab, boom, arm, and bucket. Operators use excavators for trenching, earthmoving, material handling, demolition and a wide range of construction activities.
Skid Steers
Skid steers are compact, highly manoeuvrable, engine-powered machines with lift arms that can be attached to a wide variety of tools such as buckets, augers and trenchers. These machines are stables in construction, landscaping, agriculture and property maintenance for digging, lifting, grading and material handling.
Rollers
Rollers are heavy duty pieces of construction equipment. They use weight and sometimes vibration to compress and level surfaces like soil, gravel and asphalt. Compaction rollers are used for roads, foundations and parking lots.
Mechanical
Heavy diesel mechanics work to service, maintain and repair light vehicles, large machinery and trucks used in industries like mining, construction and transport
Railway, Bridge, Tunnel Construction
Infrastructure projects involving railways, bridges, and tunnels are critical to connecting communities and supporting economic growth. Tunnels are designed to provide efficient transport routes through mountains, urban environments, and other challenging terrain, while bridges and rail networks enable safe and reliable movement of people and goods.
Pipe Laying and Draining
Pipe laying and drainage form an essential part of early-stage construction and infrastructure development. These systems support the safe delivery of water and the effective management of stormwater and wastewater, creating the foundations for sustainable communities and developments.
Road Construction and Bitumen surfacing.
Road construction and bitumen surfacing are key components of modern transport infrastructure. Bitumen is used to bind asphalt materials together, creating durable road surfaces that support safe and efficient travel for communities, businesses and industry.
