Still an apprentice, Stephanie admits to being a bit awestruck when following crane operators on-site. You gotta know your stuff and there's very little room for mistakes. Once she's put in enough hours, Stephanie will be granted her Class A permit and be ready to scale the heights of her profession. Did you know? In Canada, 96% of heavy equipment operators work full-time. Stephanie enjoys good working conditions and there can be big money in operating a crane. The more experience she gets, the more money she will make. return
