About the role
We're always keen to hear from motivated apprentices — electrical or mechanical — who want to build their trade in a genuinely varied industrial environment. As an apprentice at Mobile Automation you'll work alongside experienced electricians, fitters and engineers across breakdowns, installations, control-cabinet builds, machine work and automation projects. It's hands-on from day one, with real mentoring and exposure to technology most apprentices never get near.

- Learn to assemble, install, test and maintain electrical or mechanical systems.
- Assist with breakdowns, installations, preventative maintenance and project works.
- Follow safety protocols and develop safe working habits from the outset.
- Attend TAFE and complete all coursework and competencies on schedule.
- Bring a positive attitude, reliability and a genuine willingness to learn.
