BUILD YOUR TRADE. BUILD YOUR FUTURE. BUILD IT WITH AWCON.

Applications are now open for our 2027 Carpentry & Formwork Apprenticeship intake, with multiple positions available across our projects.

If you’re looking for more than a traditional apprenticeship, this is your opportunity to earn while you learn, work on major civil construction projects and gain real mine site experience across Australia.

As an AWCON apprentice, you’ll work towards a nationally recognised Certificate III in Carpentry, while learning from experienced tradespeople and building practical skills in a fast-paced, high-performing construction environment.

We welcome first-year apprentices and existing apprentices looking to continue their training and take their experience to the next level.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

- 4-year apprenticeship with a Certificate III in Carpentry on completion.

- Hands-on experience across mine sites and large-scale civil construction projects.

- Three practical training blocks each year in Orange, NSW.

- FIFO accommodation, meals and flights provided while on roster.

- Predominantly 2:1 FIFO rosters

- Structured site induction, supervision and mentoring from qualified tradespeople.

- Additional company-funded training, including Dogging, EWP, Working at Heights and Basic Scaffolding.

- The prospect to work across different projects, environments and locations as your skills develop.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You don’t need to have everything figured out. We’re looking for people who are keen to learn, ready to work hard and want to build a career in the construction industry.

You’ll bring:

- A genuine interest in carpentry,



formwork and hands-on construction.

- A willingness to learn, take direction and develop your skills.

- A positive attitude, strong work ethic and attention to detail.

- The ability to work safely as part of a team.

- The flexibility to work remotely and spend extended periods away from home on a FIFO roster.
