College Delivers Another Successful Heavy Equipment Operator program at Weyburn Landfill

Weyburn – Four future Heavy Equipment Operators have wrapped up their one-month training program at the Weyburn Landfill on Friday, June 17th.  The students, along with SIAST instructor Allan Dery, have been practicing on a Backhoe, Dozer, Grader, and Trackhoe at the City of Weyburn landfill since May 24th.  In addition to digging holes and moving dirt, the students have completed some in-class studies, exams, and received certification in CPR/1st Aid/AED and Ground Disturbance.  Each student will receive certification on two of the pieces of equipment.

Southeast Regional College’s ability to offer this training relied on a number of successful partnerships:

  • SIAST provided the curriculum and approved the instructor
  • Redhead Equipment and SITE Energy Services provided rental of the equipment
  • Canada - Saskatchewan Career and Employment Services (CanSask) provided various amounts of funding to some students in the course (tuition is $10,900 per student)

And finally, the City of Weyburn provided grease, fuel, and the landfill as a project site.  Claude Morrin, Superintendent of Public Works and Parks for the City of Weyburn, was responsible for making the landfill available to the College and is very pleased with the work performed by the students.  “We’re looking forward to the next opportunity to do this again,” says Morrin.  “We are impressed with the work that the students completed out at the landfill and are thinking of specific projects that students can complete the next time the program is offered here.”

Marla Smith, Business and Energy Training Consultant with the College is excited that employers now have four new qualified operators in the labour force.  “Stakeholders and employers can feel good knowing the students that come out of this program are trained and can safely operate the equipment provided to them,” states Smith.
