Build Your Trade Career with ManufactHER

Sheet Metal Apprentice | Somersby NSW | Full-time

The Opportunity

Want to work with your hands, learn real trade skills and get paid while you become qualified?

CCGT is looking for a Sheet Metal Apprentice to join a global organisation based in Somersby that manufactures industrial cooling towers.

This opportunity is supported by CCGT's ManufactHER Program, which encourages women to explore hands‑on careers in manufacturing, trades and technical workplaces. We welcome applications from anyone who is practical, reliable and ready to learn. No previous sheet metal or manufacturing experience is needed. You just need to be curious, safety-focused and willing to give things a go.

You will be employed by Central Coast Group Training (CCGT) and placed with the Host Employer for your day-to-day work. CCGT will support you throughout your apprenticeship while you complete a nationally recognised sheet metal trade qualification through a reputable Training Organisation.

This is a full‑time, 4-year apprenticeship, generally working 6:00am to 2:06pm, Monday to Friday. Training will be delivered through a mix of on‑the‑job learning and on‑campus workshops where required.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Your first few months will focus on learning workshop safety, getting familiar with tools, equipment and materials, and helping experienced tradespeople with daily fabrication tasks.

As your skills grow, you'll start learning how to:

• Fabricate and install thin gauge metal components
• Read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings
• Measure, cut, bend and shape metal
• Assist with fabrication, assembly and installation work
• Follow workplace procedures and safety requirements
• Use hand tools, machinery and workshop equipment safely
• Build practical skills in metalworking and fabrication
• Complete formal training throughout your apprenticeship

You'll also learn to safely operate and work with:

• Shears
• CNC Punch
• CNC Press Brakes
• Pipe Threaders
• Welding equipment

You will not be expected to know everything on day one. The goal is to listen, ask questions and keep improving.

Why This Is a Good Place to Start

You'll be learning in a manufacturing workplace with:

• 2x apprenticeship positions available
• Hands‑on experience making components for industrial cooling towers
• Training with experienced tradespeople
• Exposure to shears, CNC machinery, pipe threaders and welding equipment
• Practical skills in measuring, cutting, bending and installing metal components
• A supportive team environment
• Regular CCGT check‑ins throughout your apprenticeship
• Support through CCGT's ManufactHER Program

You'll also receive paid full‑time employment, formal trade training and on‑the‑job experience in a global manufacturing environment.

After your apprenticeship, career pathways may include Qualified Sheet Metal Worker, Metal Fabricator, CNC Operator, Production Tradesperson, Welding Tradesperson, Leading Hand or Manufacturing Supervisor.

What We're Looking For

This role could suit you if you:

• Enjoy practical, hands‑on work
• Are interested in fabrication, metalwork or manufacturing
• Turn up on time and are ready to learn
• Listen carefully and follow instructions, asking questions when unsure
• Have good attention to detail
• Are willing to learn how to use machinery and workshop equipment
• Have basic measuring and numeracy skills
• Can work safely and respect the team around you
• Communicate well and work as part of a team
• Are willing to commit to a full 4‑year apprenticeship

School projects, work experience, sport, volunteering, woodwork, metalwork, design and technology, helping family or practical hobbies all count. Include anything that shows you are reliable, hands‑on and willing to learn.
