About the Prospect

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 secure, 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 explicit 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.
