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.
