Time management starts in your training at HCA
Time management skills are important in any part of life whether it be at home or on the job. When training to be a heavy equipment operator at HCA, you will learn that this will be a vital part of your career as an operator. You will be taught the ins and outs of the industry and how time management will affect your overall work.
When working on a construction project, time is of the essence. If you get behind on one part of the project, the entire thing can be set back hours, or even days. With most construction jobs being weather dependent, it is important to keep in mind your end goals. Everyday operators need to know what the goal is for the day and meet that objective in their given work hours.
It is important to keep up with the schedule given for the task at hand not only for the operator but the company as a whole. It can mean a difference in pay for the operator if they are paid per job. Also, many times there are plenty of other contractors who come in after the main building is done. Their work and pay is affected if the operators get behind.
Each machine that you will be trained on at HCA has a specific purpose at a jobsite. These jobs are typically backed up one to another. As soon as one machine has done their part, the next operator and machine come in to do theirs. If you are multi-skilled as you will be if trained at HCA, you may even run more than one machine on a job. In this case, your time management must be on task. You always want to please the company you work for, the client that is paying, and the people you are working with. By having a strict standard on time management for yourself, you will do all of these without problems.

Whether you are looking to change careers or you are young and looking to begin something for your life, becoming a heavy equipment operator will definitely be a career that can bring you success and job security. In a world where jobs seem to be gone, there is always construction work in our country and around the world in need of operators. Here are the stories of some recent grads of Heavy Construction Academy and what they are doing today.
Joe writes:
I am so glad I chose Heavy Construction Academy for my operator training. I was not sure what to do with my life after many short term jobs here and there. I decided in 2009 to attend HCA and make this my future career. I am gainfully employed by a large construction company that HCA hooked me up with through their student career services. I had no problem getting hired because the company was familiar with HCA and knew my training was the best. Thank you Heavy Construction Academy and all of the staff for all you have done for me!
Angelo writes:
Heavy Construction Academy marked the beginning of my new life. I really did not have much direction in my life, but with a family to support I needed stability. I graduated from the training program over a year ago and have been working ever since. I found a job in our area within just two weeks of being done with training and am still with the same company. I have never stayed with a job or even the same field for this long but I know this is where I am supposed to be. I love the work I do and am hoping to learn enough to maybe one day have my own company. I know it will take a lot of work but with the training Heavy Construction Academy provided me with and the skills I am still working with today, I think I can do it.
