We have two exciting opportunities to progress through either a mechanical fitter or electrical apprenticeship and obtain a certificate III qualification. We're on the lookout for someone who either:

  • recently completed school,
  • has commenced or completed their first year of relevant trade studies, or
  • has a genuine interest and commitment in completing an apprenticeship.

If one of these points applies to you, then scroll down to learn more!

As the host employer, we are offering two four-year mechanical fitter or electrical apprenticeships. Through this program, you will receive on-the-job training, development and formal learning opportunities.

We have some of the best and most experienced tradespeople in the industry to assist with your training. You will have a dedicated mentor to help with transition into the workplace. This mentor will also offer networking opportunities and help facilitate personal development and growth.
