Non-Slewing Crane Licences - Career Pathways

A non-slewing crane licence can open up opportunities across construction, infrastructure, transport, and other industries where crane operators are needed. With the right skills and experience, you could work in a range of roles involving lifting, moving, and positioning materials on site. Here are some potential job roles:

Possible Roles

Crane Operator: The most direct career path is to work as a crane operator specialising in non-slewing cranes. Your responsibilities include safely maneuvering the crane, lifting and positioning loads, and following proper operating procedures. Holding a non-slewing crane licence is essential for operating the crane and can help you qualify for operator roles on different projects.

Infrastructure Worker: Working in infrastructure developments, you’ll support road, rail, utilities, and other infrastructure projects by using a non-slewing crane to move materials and equipment around the worksite. You’ll take on crane-related duties where lifting and positioning loads are required, which is why proper training and licensing are a must.

Maintenance and Service Worker: Companies involved in equipment maintenance and servicing often require crane operators to assist in the installation, removal, and relocation of heavy machinery. Your skills in non-slewing crane operations can be valuable in these settings.

Construction Plant Operator: You’ll operate a mobile plant and lifting equipment as part of construction projects, including site preparation and material handling. A non-slewing crane licence adds another useful qualification to your skillset and can expand the types of equipment you can work with.

Port and Shipping Operator: You’ll work around ports, shipping facilities, and freight operations where cranes are used to move equipment, materials, and other loads. A non-slewing crane licence can be a practical qualification for this pathway because ports regularly handle heavy and oversized loads that require trained operators and suitable lifting equipment.

Mining Plant Operator: Working in the mining sector can provide higher-paying roles compared with some similar positions in other industries. If you’re looking to use your non-slewing crane licence to enter the industry, you’ll be tasked with positioning machinery, moving heavy supplies, and assisting with maintenance and site support activities.

Potential wages could be in the region of $115,000 to $135,000 per year

Career Progression

Your non-slewing crane licence can be your starting point for building a career in crane operations. With time and experience, you can upskill with further crane training to operate larger and more advanced equipment. Adding your industry knowledge and invaluable skills, you’ll be more confident to take on new opportunities in the industry.

Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better.
Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better. Smaller classes better and more knowledgeable teachers who care about the students and more flexible learning (being able to do most of the work from home). TAFE felt like it was just there to keep apprentices there for as long as possible (spending 8 hours to do 2 hours of work) but here it’s all based around the student, come in for the morning to to finish up units then go back to work for the rest of the day.

I recently completed my Certificate III (online) through Major Training Group, and I had a wonderful experience. My educator, Cathy Fendley, was absolutely fabulous. We had agreed-upon sessions once a week (and sometimes twice a week when needed), and she was always supportive, organised, and encouraging. Cathy helped me tremendously, especially with my case studies, making sure I fully understood the requirements and felt confident in my work. She also went above and beyond by helping me find a placement closer to my location, which made a big difference for me. During my placement, she visited and gave me such a great morale boost — her support truly meant a lot. I’m very grateful to have had Cathy as my teacher. She is a wonderful educator and a genuinely caring person. Highly recommend Major Training Group!

I had a fantastic experience with Major Training. Katrina was my trainer for both my EWP and Forklift courses, and she was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. She explains everything clearly and makes sure everyone feels confident and safe. I also want to mention Thane. Even though he wasn’t my trainer, he was very friendly and always willing to help. Great team, professional training, and a very welcoming environment. Highly recommended definitely more than 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend this RTO! The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to help whenever you need support. They genuinely care about your learning and make sure you understand the material, not just pass the course. They also create a great environment with things like regular BBQs, which makes it a welcoming and supportive place to study. It’s clear they put real effort into looking after their students and building a strong community. If you’re considering training here, you won’t regret it.

Highly recommend Major training. I cannot express how much it was a pleasure to be educated and trained by my highly experienced assessor CARL BERRY for helping me complete my C6 Crane ticket. It's alot of theory work and alot of maths and also practical about the Crane as I've had no experience. Carl Berry gave not just me but the other pupils in the classroom the time and the patience to help us to complete and accomplish this course. I'm not gonna lie it is very hard but with the right training studying and perseverance it was all well worth it. Thank you so much Carl for all your hard work and keep it mate. I really do appreciate what you have done for me. And last but not least thank you Major training for having me as a student at your facility.

I can't recommend Paul from Major Training highly enough! He was an incredible instructor who supported me every step of the way in obtaining my HR licence. After failing my first test due to nerves, I was feeling pretty discouraged. However, Paul’s patience, understanding, and encouragement made all the difference. He took the time to go over everything thoroughly, helping me rebuild my confidence and fine-tune my skills. His calm demeanor helped ease my anxiety. Thanks to Paul’s support, I was able to pass my test. Thank you Paul, I appreciate the help to better my life!
