Start your trade where the work is genuinely interesting!
Leslie Electrical Services (LES) is an industrial electrical contracting business specialising in factories, processing plants and food production.
We do machine design, PLC programming, SCADA, functional safety and TÜV machine safety certification, the pointy end of the trade.
We're after a first-year apprentice who wants to learn it properly, from the ground up.
This isn't a domestic power points and lights apprenticeship.
You'll be exposed to industrial control systems, safety circuits and automation alongside tradespeople who take training seriously.
We run a family-first culture, take safety and your wellbeing genuinely, and invest in our people.
If you're switched on, reliable and keen to build a real career, we'll back you.
Heads-up: from time to time we take on work across Australia, which means living away from home, sometimes for stretches of up to 3 months.
If that's a dealbreaker, this probably isn't the right role.
If it sounds like an adventure, even better.
What you'll be doing
Assisting our electricians on industrial sites: cable running, terminations, containment, fault-finding and panel work
Learning to read electrical drawings, schematics and control diagrams
Helping build and wire control panels in the workshop
Getting hands-on exposure to PLCs, drives, sensors and machine safety systems
Keeping tools,



vehicles and worksites tidy, stocked and safe
Attending TAFE and completing all coursework on time
What you'll need
A completed pre-apprenticeship in electrotechnology (Certificate II)
A current driver's licence
A Construction Induction ("White") Card
Completion of Year 12 (or equivalent), with solid maths and English
Willingness to travel and live away from home for project work, up to 3 months at a time
Reliability, a valuable attitude, respect for safety, and a genuine interest in electrical work and automation
Bonus points for any hands-on, mechanical or trade experience, and an interest in PLCs, automation and machine safety
What's in it for you
A 4-year Australian Apprenticeship leading to a nationally recognised Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician
Real upskilling beyond the basics: exposure to TÜV machine safety certification and hazardous-area work that most small contractors can't offer
Mentoring directly alongside the business owner and senior electricians
A family-first culture: monthly toolbox BBQs, team days, and bonuses
Tools, PPE and TAFE fees supported in line with your apprenticeship arrangement
A genuine pathway, we grow our own people
Leslie Electrical Services is an equal-opportunity employer.
We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.
