Ux Designer

CTCT (Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies)

CTCT (a joint venture between Trimble and Caterpillar) creates world-leading grade control and automation products for customers in the paving, construction, landfill, and mining industries. Our products make operators of heavy equipment more productive, whether they’re working on a landscaping job in someone’s backyard, levelling a section for a house, building a subdivision or highway, or operating an 800-tonne excavator on a mine site.

Central to our success is accurate positioning. We utilise the latest technology, developed in-house, including IMU, GNSS, Laser, Optical, and Sonic sensors, as well as some tech we can’t even talk about yet, to empower machine operators with clear and accurate guidance. In many cases, we automate machine functions so the operator can concentrate on other tasks.
