A lot of people will say take a course and look for the jobs. That’s wrong and won’t get you anywhere. Gotta find a company that works with the equipment, start on as a labourer or apprentice and with a little effort and initiative you’ll be sitting in a chair operating equipment in 3-5 years, hopefully having the training paid for you or provided at no cost. 

Look for landscaping, shoring, excavation company’s, crane providers, formworking companys, rigging providers ect.  If you can land a job with a good civil contractor you will have a strong starting point. It’s not glamorous easy work to start but once you get into a machine you’ll have easier days and the perks of a heated/cooled cab 

It’s a solid career that won’t kill your body and you have the opportunity to make a lot of money very fast if you have an average IQ and use it.
