Apprenticeships
Our apprentices tell us that it’s the balance between working and studying that will really give you the edge. When you’re not learning the technicalities of your trade, you’ll be on site putting what you’ve learnt into practice with heavy machinery and equipment. You’ll be challenged and stretched, but you will have the guidance from your manager to make sure your career starts in the best way.
At the end of your apprenticeship you’ll be a fully qualified tradesperson and if you have the desire, you can progress into other opportunities like supervision of study.
Disciplines we commonly look for are mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and heavy fabrication.
Graduate careers
Participants in our Australian graduate career program tell us the hands-on nature of our program puts their interpersonal, professional and technical skills in the fast lane for growth.
It’s real work combined with encouragement, and we help you map out your development so you get the best from the program to develop the technical and non-technical skills you need in order to take your career further.
We look for people who are adaptable, thrive in challenging environments and want to be involved in real projects, work as part of a team, take on big challenges and make a real contribution to the business.
