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 the OWL [out of work list], your job placement will be determined by the order of Contractor Orders.

 

Part of being and Operating Engineer is being able and willing to travel the entire state of Colorado. The ability and willingness 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 first on the 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 up your learning time on equipment. Please do not apply if you are not willing to entry level work at the beginning of your apprenticeship. Obtaining a CDL is advantageous and we can facilitate the process of obtaining a CDL id an apprentice is interested. I fully understand the following and by completing and submitting this application agree to:

 1.      Traveling: this includes the whole state of Colorado and possibly other states, for work and for training obligations.

 

2.      Working in Extreme Weather: I may be required to work out in unfavorable weather conditions.
 

 

3.      At the beginning of my apprenticeship I will be required to perform entry level work that may include manual labor.

 

 

 

 

Drug / Alcohol Policy
The Board of Trustees of the Operating Engineers Local 9 Apprenticeship program has adopted a Drug/Alcohol Policy prohibiting the use or possession of alcohol and/or drugs while on-premises governed by the Apprenticeship Program or while engaged in any activity under the auspices of the Apprenticeship Program, i.e. while working as an apprentice for IUOE Local 9 contractor The Policy likewise prohibits being on Program premises or engaged in any activity under the auspices of the Apprenticeship Program while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (except prescribed and/or over-the-counter medications taken for bona fide medical purposes.)

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.

Each applicant selected for apprenticeship shall serve a probationary period of 6 months or 1000 hours or nine months of on-the-job training.

During the probationary period, either the apprentice or the Local JATC may terminate the Apprenticeship Agreement, without stated cause, by notifying the other party in writing. The records for each probationary apprentice shall be reviewed prior to the end of the probationary period. Records shall consist of periodic reports regarding the progression made in both the skill training (seat time) and related instruction, and any disciplinary action taken during the probationary period.

Any probationary apprentice evaluated as satisfactory after a review of the probationary period shall be given full credit for the probationary period and continued in the program.

After the probationary period, the apprenticeship agreement may be canceled at the request of the apprentice or may be suspended or canceled by the Local JATC for a good cause after documented due notice to the apprentice and a reasonable opportunity for corrective action. In such cases, the Local JATC will provide written notice to the apprentice and to the Registration Agency of the final action taken.
