Job description

About the Opportunity

Berendsen's Perth Airport branch operates from a custom-built workshop within the Perth International Airport precinct. The branch is built to handle heavy-duty hydraulic equipment for Western Australia's toughest industries.

We're looking for an Apprentice Fitter & Machinist to join the Wetherill Park team in Sydney, starting December/January. You'll get hands-on exposure to hydraulic cylinder repair and rebuild, working alongside experienced technicians in a workshop built for large-scale, heavy-duty equipment - plus exposure to the branch's cylinder service exchange program, which keeps a substantial inventory of refurbished cylinders moving to minimise customer downtime.

You won't be figuring this out on your own. Through our Elevate Apprenticeship Program, you'll have a mentor in your corner, structured learning through the Elevate Academy, and a wider community of apprentices across Questas Group going through the same journey.

Your Responsibilities

• Work alongside senior fitters and machinists on hydraulic cylinder repair and rebuild
• Learn to read technical drawings and schematics

About You

A nationally recognised trade qualification, earned in a purpose-built workshop trusted by some of WA's toughest industries - plus rotations across our local branches to build a well-rounded skill set most apprenticeships can't offer. And a career that keeps going after your ticket comes through: apprentices who complete the Elevate Program go on to build lasting careers across Questas Group, backed by mentoring, recognition, and the resources of a national network.
