Graders are commonly used for the cutting, spreading and levelling of materials such as gravel, soil, mineral deposits and coal.

They can also be used for ditching, scarifying soil and the cutting of bank canals.

Through acquiring a grader ticket, you would be qualified for roles in industries such as mining, civil maintenance and construction.

Nearby councils such as Brisbane City Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council, Tweed Shire Council and City of Gold Coast rely on a vast number of grader plant operators – particularly for civil maintenance on local drains and roads.

Being employed by council, or local government, often has a number of benefits including generous employer funded superannuation benefits, fortnightly RDOs and excellent working conditions.

If you’re particularly interested in securing a job with your local council, a grader license is an extremely valuable certification to have, and the training is easy and affordable.

Elevated Training specialises in plant operation tickets, which means you’ll get the best training to gain the competencies and the best preparation for safe operation during your new line of work.

We run a two-day course on Thursday to Friday providing the skills and knowledge required to conduct grader operations.

It’s just $800 to complete the course, and you’ll come out fully licensed and able to:

• Plan and prepare for grader operations
• Drive and operate grader
• Carry our operator maintenance
• Conduct housekeeping activities

At Elevated Training, we offer other courses for other plants that come hand in hand with council jobs, such as skid steer or bobcat, excavator, backhoe or loader operations.

We can help get you fully certified with everything from the formal training, to log book and onsite training for you to gain the skills and qualifications to operate on your own.

Our qualified trainers and assessors have years of experience in multiple industry sectors, and deliver courses with a light-hearted, yet direct approach.
