Apprenticeship Programs
Heavy Equipment Operating Engineer
Fann’s Operating Engineer Program teaches a variety of skills that the company feels are necessary for the development of a well-rounded versatile operator. Apprentices are given opportunities to operate a variety of equipment including dozers, scrapers, backhoes, pavers, motor graders, rollers, loaders, and excavators and are allowed to choose a piece of equipment to specialize in. In addition, apprentices learn grade checking skills, traffic control, asphalt raking, pipe laying, and driving skills. Apprentices go through a number of classes, both self-directed and in the classroom. Safety skills are emphasized.
The Fann Contracting Apprentice Program gives preference to minority, female, disabled and veteran applicants who might not otherwise be given the chance to learn to operate equipment.
Heavy Duty Equipment Repairer
After completion of the program, the apprentice graduates with a nationally recognized certification as Journeyman Operating Engineer or certified Shop and Field Mechanic. We take pride in the fact that our curriculum is a solid platform from which we produce our own future leaders. These well-trained individuals may subsequently enter the Foremen’s program and perhaps eventually become Superintendents.
