Finished school and not sure what's next? Or looking for a hands-on career where you can earn while you learn? You could be the newest Apprentice Fitter at Tassal's Proserpine Prawn Farm, starting in November 2026.

Over the course of your apprenticeship, you'll learn from experienced tradespeople while working on a wide range of machinery and equipment that keep our farm operating every day.

You'll gain hands-on experience maintaining and repairing everything from Caterpillar dozers, loaders and excavators through to pumps, generators, vehicles and other critical farm equipment. It's the kind of experience that will set you up with skills you can take anywhere.

No two days look the same. One day you could be helping complete a service on a piece of heavy machinery, the next you might be assisting with a breakdown, fault finding or learning how preventative maintenance keeps equipment running reliably.

You’ll work a Monday to Friday roster, giving you your weekends free while you earn an income, complete a nationally recognised trade qualification and build a career for the future.

Second and third-year apprentices are encouraged to apply. What You'll Be Doing

Learning how to service, maintain and repair a variety of machinery and equipment
