The main use of a Water Cart is to drive around a mine site, dispensing water to provide dust suppression on site. Water Truck are one of the most important machines on sites as the site becomes inoperative without dust suppression solutions.
Water Trucks are as straightforward to drive as Dump Trucks, so they’re a great entry-level role to apply for.
If you have had any experience operating other machinery, it is easy to transition but for many jobseekers, fear gets in the way of applying for these jobs.
Even if you have the confidence to undertake Water Truck training, you may be concerned about the following:-
- How would I handle something so big?
- I’m too young/old/tall/short or large to be able to drive one
- Driving a Water Truck is too far out of my comfort zone
- Every job I’ve had in the past had NOTHING to do with operating machinery
Be assured that many people, from all career and study backgrounds and ages have completed the course easily. Our licensed trainers are mine-site professionals, who can help you gain the qualification (ticket) required to operate a bulk water truck to help open up a lucrative position within the mining industry. A bulk water truck training course is one sure way to help minimise your doubts and provide the necessary level of expertise required by the industry.

WHY COMPLETE THIS COURSE?
Along with gaining the qualification to operate a bulk water truck on a mining site, those who reach the required standard will find industries such as quarrying and construction will also open up to them. Employers are also far more likely to offer a relevant position to someone who has completed the bulk water truck training course over an individual with no qualifications.
The bulk water truck is one of the most used vehicles to get a start in mining with and there are a number of reasons why this is so:-
- Water carts are automatic so easy to operate
- Combining this ticket with the dump truck will start you on your journey as a Multi-Skilled Operator and a larger pay packet.
- COMPLETING THIS WATER CART TRAINING COURSE CAN INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF GAINING EMPLOYMENT as the employer knows that you have the basic skills to get in and operate the machine and abide by site driving protocols.
- Many employers believe that doing training shows you are serious about your career, so you are generally favoured over those who have no tickets.
- From an employer’s point of view, it is an asset to have someone who can operate both Dump Truck and Water Truck as they can use you in either machine when required, making you a more valuable employee.
The water truck training course is an ideal starting place for anyone wishing to gain access to entry-level jobs in mining and other associated industries throughout the Australian mainland and beyond. My Solution Training offers dedicated one-on-one training to the industry required standard.
