CANZ FAQs

Frequently asked questions that may answer your query.

>> Read more <<

Thinking of becoming a crane operator?

Awesome! We’ve got the info you need right here.
​
Crane operators love working with heavy machinery, working in teams, and have good hand-eye coordination. If this sounds like a great way to spend your working day, you could have a bright future as a crane operator.

Work outdoors instead of being stuck in the same office all day. As your career grows, you’ll have more freedom and flexibility in your schedule to fit in more time for the things that matter, such as family, hobbies, and interests.

To learn more, select our training webpage.
