Caterpillar hosts first-ever Dealer Technician Challenge

This challenge, for independent Cat dealers that choose to participate, is designed to showcase how skilled technicians are part of a high-tech, high-impact, high-demand career.

“This hands-on, skills-based competition will test the technicians’ agility, resilience, and versatility,” said Caterpillar Global Service Vice President Henry Venneman. “These trained experts are on the front line of support, working to keep machines and engines up and running to help ensure our customers’ critical projects are completed.”

Cat dealers globally are experiencing a growing opportunity for technicians. By the end of 2026, it is estimated that Cat dealers may need to hire more than 44 000 technicians. This competition is also designed to help raise awareness of the opportunities in this career field.

“There are thousands of opportunities available globally for those who are interested in a hands-on career,” added Venneman. “Cat dealers are often looking for individuals who are problem solvers, mechanically inclined and tech savvy.”
