SWITCHBOARD MANUFACTURING

MPE Custom Switchboards Pty Ltd | Smithfield, NSW | Full-time Apprenticeship

Paid TAFE • No site travel • Learn from a real team, every day

About us

MPE Custom Switchboards is a specialist switchboard manufacturer based in Smithfield. We build quality electrical switchboards and take pride in growing our own tradespeople — properly, not just throwing you in the deep end. Work in our workshop, not alone on a job site, with experienced electricians backing you every step.

The opportunity

We're growing, and we want 1st and 2nd year apprentices who want to learn a genuinely specialised trade. You'll work alongside experienced electricians and pick up skills most apprentices don't get exposed to until much later — or ever.

What you'll learn

● Assembling switchboards and control panels

● Installing and maintaining electrical equipment

● Reading and interpreting electrical drawings

● Electrical testing and safety checks

● Setting out panels and control wiring

What we offer

● Paid TAFE day — 1 day a week





● Overtime and Saturday work available at penalty rates when it's on

● A secure workshop base — no driving between job sites

● A real team around you, not a solo apprenticeship

● Genuine progression in a growing, specialised industry

● Job security in a trade that's always in demand

About you

● Australian resident

● Currently in (or about to start) 1st or 2nd year of your electrical apprenticeship

● Solid with maths and English

● A team player who's keen to learn and shows up ready to work

● Safety-conscious with good communication skills

Why MPE?

Switchboard manufacturing is a specialised skillset that opens doors most trades don't. You'll build it in a stable, supportive workshop environment — with the kind of work-life balance that's hard to find on the tools.

How to apply

Send your resume through SEEK or email ••••@mpecustom.com.au, including your current apprenticeship year and your availability to start. We'll be in touch with successful candidates within a week.
