Apprentice - Electrical (PRB04)
About the role
We are seeking applications for Electrical Apprentices (ideally 3rd year) to join the team at the Sydney Steel Mill. This is an exciting opportunity to begin your career and gain exposure to one of Australia’s most unique steel making facilities.
Our apprentices tell us that it's the balance between working and studying that will really give you the edge. When you're not at TAFE 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 have space to balance both study and work. You'll be challenged and stretched, but you'll find it's the best way to develop and learn. During the program, you'll be able to draw upon the experience of your team and 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 or further post-trade study.
You’ll gain hands-on exposure to a diverse range of equipment and processes, including PLCs, drives, SCADA, high‑voltage electrical reticulation, robotics, and field instrumentation.
To be considered for this program, the below criteria is essential:
- Successfully completed Year 11 or higher
- A demonstrated interest in undertaking an apprenticeship
- A strong commitment to working safely
- The ability to work collaboratively with a diverse team
