Compactor Ticket

The compactor ticket (RIIMPO316E) at Shamrock Training is nationally recognised self-propelled compactor operator certification covering soil and asphalt compaction work, including selecting vibration settings, following correct pass patterns, managing moisture levels, and achieving the required surface finish across civil construction, roadworks, and earthmoving projects. Courses run from the Northgate Brisbane training centre near Brisbane Airport, with on-site training available for crews across Queensland.

No prerequisites are required, the course takes one to three days, and you receive a Statement of Attainment for RIIMPO316E upon completion - the formal operator documentation that employers and worksites require before you run the machine unsupervised. Book your spot at Northgate or call to lock in on-site training for your project team.
