Job description

Apprentice Electrician – Commercial Solar

About the role

MGA Electrical is looking for a motivated Apprentice Electrician to join our team full-time in Sydney, working predominantly on large commercial solar projects.

We’re a close-knit team who work hard, work well together and take a lot of pride in the quality of what we do. We’re looking for someone with the same attitude — someone who wants to learn, isn't afraid of hard work and wants to become a genuinely good tradesperson.

You'll work alongside experienced electricians from day one, getting real hands‑on experience across commercial solar and electrical installations. We believe apprentices should be properly taught the trade and given more responsibility as their skills develop.

What you'll be doing

• Working alongside qualified electricians on commercial solar projects

• Installing solar panels, cable tray, conduit, DC and AC cabling and electrical equipment

• Learning cable preparation, terminations, testing and fault finding

• Learning to read electrical drawings and plans

• Using hand and battery tools

• Working outdoors and at heights

• Attending TAFE and completing your apprenticeship training

Who we're looking for

Attitude and work ethic are the most important things to us.

You need to be reliable, willing to listen and learn, physically capable and prepared to put in a solid day's work. You also need to be someone who gets along with others and enjoys being part of a team.

Experience using hand and battery tools is something we definitely look for, although it isn't essential. We particularly like applicants who are naturally practical and enjoy working with their hands — whether that's working on push bikes, cars or motorbikes, building things, mechanical hobbies, DIY projects or anything similar.

You don't need to already know the electrical trade. We're much more interested in someone who has practical ability, a good attitude and genuinely wants to learn.

What you'll get from us

You'll become part of a good crew of experienced tradespeople who are willing to teach you properly and want to see you succeed.

You'll get hands‑on experience on substantial commercial solar projects, exposure to quality electrical installations, modern tools and equipment, support through TAFE and the opportunity to take on more responsibility as you develop.

We work hard, but we enjoy working together and believe the people you work with make a massive difference to whether you enjoy coming to work each day.
