Move the world
The Saskatchewan Polytechnic Heavy Equipment Truck & Transport Technician program is designed to give you basic training in two high-demand mechanical trades at once. Heavy duty equipment technicians work on large mobile equipment—bulldozers, cranes, graders, loaders and earthmovers used in construction, mining, forestry and more. Truck and transport mechanics work on trucks, buses and highway transport vehicles for dealers, garages and transportation companies.

At our new Trades and Technology Centre, you will learn the skills necessary to assemble, repair, service and maintain all types of Heavy Equipment and Truck/Transport vehicles. You will spend most of your classroom time in our new large shop with our experienced industry-trained instructors where you will receive an education placing you at the forefront of the technical curve. A two-week on the job work experience component in an industrial setting will build on your practical skills and knowledge.

Students may apply for Level 1 and 2 Technical Training credit and trade time upon indenturing as an apprentice with the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission.

Graduates will have the knowledge and skills needed to sell, operate, maintain and repair heavy equipment, trucks, buses and transport vehicles. Start your career in an equipment dealership, transportation company, public transit operation, service and rental company. There are also hands-on jobs in construction, forestry, mining and oil and gas industries, as well as opportunities to move into sales, marketing and management. You could also open your own business.
