You make decisions every day, and many times they don't have much of an impact on your future. Some decisions, however, should be made carefully. For example choosing a career path, whether you’re a high school student looking beyond graduation or you’ve been out in the working world and are looking for a change, can affect whether or not you find opportunities down the road.  Roles that can't be taken on by computers or exported overseas are your ticket to a rewarding and promising future, and the heavy equipment maintenance field is one place you can find those kinds of roles.

As a heavy equipment maintenance specialist, you'll be able to diagnose and repair diesel engines, truck systems and off-road equipment system units. There are many positions in this field open today, and opportunities are expected to grow over the next eight years.
