About The Chance

We're looking for an Apprentice Fitter & Machinist to join our Darwin team, starting December/January. Whether you're fresh out of school, ready for a change after years in a different career, or simply looking for a trade that offers long-term security, we want to hear from you.

You'll be learning hands-on, working alongside experienced tradespeople across a broad range of work - hydraulics, pneumatics, instrumentation, filtration and more. It's the kind of exposure that builds a well-rounded tradesperson, not just someone who knows one corner of the workshop.

You won't be doing it alone. 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 fabrication, assembly, and machining tasks
- Learn to read technical drawings and schematics
- Assist with the repair and maintenance of hydraulic and mechanical equipment
- Operate and maintain workshop tools and machinery
- Help maintain a safe, organised workshop environment
- Attend training programs and courses to build your trade knowledge and skills





About You

- Minimum Year 10 High School Certificate
- Curious about how machines and mechanical systems work
- Comfortable with maths, and good with your hands
- A clear communicator who enjoys working with people
- Motivated, reliable, and ready to learn

What's In It For You? A nationally recognised trade qualification, earned with a business that's spent decades proving itself in some of the toughest industries around. 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. Why Join Winnellie?

- Employee benefits program - offering salary packaging options, novated leasing, discounts at everyday stores and much more!
