Work Availability Form

Please sign
Construction work is not like working in a bank or warehouse; our work requires us to be available any hour of the day or night. We may be required to travel away from our home base and stay away for an extended time. If you have any issues that will or might prevent this, you must bring this to the administrator's attention before going any further in the application process. There is no way for us to foresee the future of where an apprentice will be working, or the hours required. We need people to show up for work, every day, on time and be able to travel if necessary. If you are accepted, there are no guarantees which contractor you will go to work for. You are placed on a OWL[out of work list], job placement will be determined by the order of Contractor order.

Pre-Acceptance Travel and Work Agreement

Notice to Applicant
Part of being an Operating Engineer is being able and willing to travel the entire state of Colorado and the ability to work in extreme weather conditions. Part of being an apprentice is understanding that you are here to LEARN. An apprentice will likely not start as an operator on the first job. The expectation is that as an apprentice you will be given opportunities at the job by the contractor to learn firsthand. As you attend your required training at the CJAT Training Site and advance your skills, it is likely that a contractor will start to increase your learning time on the equipment. Please do not apply if you are not willing to entry-level work at the first of your apprenticeship.

Obtaining a CDL is advantageous, we will help facilitate the process of obtaining a CDL if an apprentice is interested.

I fully understand the following and by completing and submitting this application agree to Travel: this includes the entire state of Colorado and possibly other states, for work and to fulfill my training obligations.

Working in Extreme Weather: I may be required to work out in unfavorable weather conditions. At the beginning of my apprenticeship, I will be required to perform entry-level work that may include manual labor.

In order to assure compliance with this Policy, Apprentices and/or others participating
in Programs conducted under the auspices of the Apprenticeship Program are
subject to drug/alcohol testing.
Such drug/alcohol testing will be directed when, in the judgment of Program Management, there is a basis to suspect that an Apprentice or
other program participant has ingested or is under the influence of drugs or
alcohol. In any case, it will be deemed a sufficient basis for testing should an
Apprentice or other Program participant be involved in an accident causing
personal injury and/or property damage.
In all cases, wherein an Apprentice or other Program participant is directed to
submit to drug/alcohol testing, the individual so directed will be required to sign appropriate documents authorizing accomplishment of the
desired testing. Failure and/or refusal to do so, or otherwise failing to cooperate in the administration of such testing, shall result in
dismissal from the Apprenticeship program.
