Excavator, Skid Steer Bundle

This bundle covers two units of competency from the resources and infrastructure industry training package — operating a skid steer loader and operating an excavator in civil construction settings. You will learn to plan and prepare for machine operations, carry out earthmoving and excavation tasks, work safely around underground and overhead services, and complete post-operational checks and reporting. Training covers both the practical handling of each machine and the compliance requirements that go with civil construction site work. This bundle suits people who are new to plant operation and want to build a foundation across two commonly used machines, as well as existing workers who operate one machine and want to add the other to their skill set. It is also a practical fit for labourers, landscapers, or trades assistants looking to move into a plant operator role on civil construction or earthmoving projects. After completing both units you will be able to operate a skid steer loader and an excavator safely and competently in civil construction environments, follow site safety and environmental requirements specific to each machine, and carry out the pre-start, operational, and shutdown procedures required on a working site.
