Job Description
As a Quarrying Specialist in the Army National Guard, you'll move
mountains, reducing massive rocks to rubble to create gravel and
stones for construction projects using explosives and heavy
machinery.
The quarrying process begins with blasting rock, and ends with
delivering the finished product to a construction site. In between,
rock usually goes through two crushing stages and a washing
station. Maintenance, repair, and upkeep of the machinery are also
a part of this specialty.
Job Duties
Operate air compressors, pneumatic tools, hydraulic-powered rock
drills, rock crushers, and screening equipment
Run the support equipment during crushing and screening (e.g.
generators, conveyors, light sets, and pumps)
Some of the Skills You'll Learn
Operation of different types of equipment
Maintenance and repair of equipment
General construction principles
Helpful Skills
Interest in operating quarry construction equipment
Preference for working outdoors
Interest in explosives and blasting techniques
Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience
to enjoy a civilian career with building contractors, state highway
agencies, rock quarries, well drillers, or construction firms.
Earn While You Learn
Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to learn. In the
Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while
earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition
assistance.
Job training for a Quarrying Specialist consists of 10 weeks of
Basic Training, where you'll learn basic Soldiering skills, and
seven weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT), including
practice operating construction equipment. Part of this time is
spent in the classroom and part in the field.
