Jamie Maytwayashing was drawn to heavy construction because his dad worked in the field. Maytwayashing started small, as a skid steer operator before moving into heavy construction and now drives a loader.
“I just enjoy being in a machine, being on my own.”
It was always his goal to operate heavy equipment and in his current job, he found the crew helped him find his feet, get comfortable with heavier equipment and greater responsibility. Now, Maytwayashing is showing others how to work onsite.
To those who are intimidated at the thought of breaking into the industry for a career, Maytwayashing’s message is go for it:
“Just get out there and do it. Be confident in yourself and your abilities.”
