For those who are mechanically inclined, a career as a heavy equipment mechanic may be worth considering. Heavy equipment includes bulldozers, loaders, trackhoes and other large machines. Heavy equipment mechanics are sometimes called deisel mechanics because heavy equipment machines have deisel motors, which require specialized knowledge to repair. Many community colleges have training programs for people who would like to become certified heavy equipment mechanics. Some people become heavy equipment mechanics without certification, through experience although it can be difficult to switch jobs without any kind of certification. Another option is to enter an apprenticeship program and receive training while performing the job. Various branches of the military also offer training in heavy equipment mechanics. The pay range for heavy equipment mechanics is between $35,000 and $60,000 annually, depending on training, certification, location and experience. The growth for this position is expected to be average over the next ten years. Working conditions for heavy equipment mechanics vary depending on where the work is being performed. Heavy equipment is used in factories, building construction, farms, bridge and road construction, mining, transportation, and many other industries. Everywhere that heavy equipment is used, it needs to be repaired. Working conditions in an underground mine and at an airfield differ considerably. Within the overall job title of heavy equipment mechanic there are multiple sub-specialties. There are hydraulics specialists, marine equipment specialists and utility specialists, among others. Becoming more specialized may mean more travel but it also means an increase in pay. In fact, there are positions for heavy equipment mechanics called mobile where the mechanic travels from site to site doing repairs. Large construction companies, for example, may have sites in several states, all with equipment that needs to be repaired. A mobile mechanic earns more than one who stay in the same place, but travel can be stressful for families. People who enjoy working with their hands, feel comfortable with machinery and prefer variety in their daily tasks would likely enjoy working as heavy equipment mechanics. People who like to stay meticulously clean and to be around lots of other people may not enjoy the work as much.
Varies by employer and area. I started at $16/hr. as a heavy equipment mechanic. Now I work for a trucking company, and we've had new techs in for as little as $12/hr.
