About MC Electrical

MC Electrical has been operating for 17 years and has earned an industry-wide reputation for quality workmanship, with industry-leading solar, battery, heat pump and EV charger installations. We’re located in Eagle Farm, and our jobs are usually within a 50km radius of Brisbane CBD.

About the role

The first part of your apprenticeship will be installing solar panels on the roof — including rail installation and wiring. As your apprenticeship progresses, you'll work on high-end home batteries (Tesla, BYD, Fronius), switchboard upgrades, EV charger installations, heat pumps and basic home automation.

We have a successful history of employing mature-age apprentices, but all ages are welcome to apply. A background in roofing or another trade is a huge advantage.

Benefits & perks

At MC Electrical, you will:

• Be part of a friendly, positive and professional team of tradies and apprentices.
• Have a pool room / gaming room at the warehouse for Friday socials.
• Take monthly rostered days off.
• Be proud of your workmanship — we're not interested in "smashing out jobs".
• Learn from the best electricians in the solar and battery storage industry, installing industry-leading products and best-practice methods.
• Be part of the climate solution — not part of the problem.

Skills & experience

• Should be fit and strong — able to lift 24kg solar panels onto a roof.
• Must have a current open driver's licence and your own vehicle.
• Cert II in Electrotechnology is an advantage but not a requirement.
• Must have permanent residency or Australian citizenship to be eligible.
• Must be good with a pool cue — but not too good!

The role is full-time - all apprentices are subject to a paid work trial to assess suitability before starting an apprenticeship.

To be eligible for an apprenticeship or traineeship you must be an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or have full working rights.
