Our annual intake of Diesel Fitting Apprentices is on again for 2011. The four year apprenticeship will be split between periods at our Plant Workshop in Brisbane (Darra), our mining projects throughout Central Queensland and New South Wales, and attendance at TAFE.

To successfully gain one of our apprentice positions you must be over 17 years of age and have completed grade 12. We are also looking for people who can demonstrate:

• Flexibility with working hours
• Commitment to completing a full term apprenticeship (4 years)
• A strong desire to work in the mining industry

As you will be based in Brisbane during your first year of the apprenticeship you must be able to accommodate yourself during this period. While based on the projects in Central QLD and NSW you will be provided with camp accommodation.
