Apprentice Fitter Machinist

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 Perth Airport team, 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'll also have the opportunity to rotate across our local branches during your apprenticeship, giving you exposure to different equipment, processes, and specialisations.

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
• Assist with inspection, disassembly, and reassembly of hydraulic cylinders
• Get hands-on with stripping benches, honing equipment, and hydraulic test rigs

About You

• Minimum Year 10 High School Certificate
• Curious about how machines and mechanical systems work
• Comfortable with maths, and good with your hands
• Careful and precise - accuracy matters in this trade

What's In It For 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.
