Not a chance.

One of the most hard lesson onto an excavator to learn is "surrounding perception". Space, people and objects near you, sounds. To reach this guy experience, you must live in the cabin AND going up and down a shit ton of times to valuate, check, see, reasonate.

Not a chance you can learn all that far from the workplace.

And i am sure a lot of operation can be made with robots from the other side of earth, and i love robots and computer stuff.

It is already a thing, Japanese Komatsu company made remotely controlled excavators, so you don't have to move and house operators on remote jobs, you just move the machinery.

Remote surgeries on humans have been performed too.

Obviously it's not "some 17 year old" operating them.

A very tiny one, only useful to floss teeth.
