Want more time on the tools and a better opportunity to learn?

Safe Planet is looking for a 2nd, 3rd or 4th Year Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Apprentice to join our growing Melbourne installation team.

This is a hands-on role working alongside a licensed tradesman with 40+ years of industry experience who genuinely wants to teach the next generation.

You’ll be involved in complete installations — not just carrying tools or doing the same basic tasks every day.

If you're reliable, keen to learn and want to finish your apprenticeship with strong practical HVAC skills, we'd like to hear from you.

What you'll get

- $55,000–$70,000 + super, depending on apprenticeship year and experience

- Full-time, steady work across Melbourne

- Learn directly from a licensed tradesman with 40+ years on the tools

- Genuine hands-on experience every day

- Work across ducted, split and multi-head/VRF systems

- Learn complete installations from start to finish

- Tools, PPE and uniforms supplied

- Support with TAFE and apprenticeship requirements

- Join a growing in-house installation team

- Long-term opportunity to stay with us once qualified

What you'll be working on

You’ll gain practical experience across residential air-conditioning installations, including:

- Ducted reverse-cycle systems

- Split and multi-head/VRF systems

- Indoor and outdoor unit installation

- Ductwork, outlets and return-air systems

- Copper pipework and brazing

- Pressure testing and vacuuming

- Refrigeration pipework

- Condensate and drainage

- Replacement of existing gas ducted heating systems

- Commissioning and testing

- General installation and site work

The aim is simple:



we want you to understand how to complete the whole job properly, not just one part of it.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone who is:

- Currently a 2nd, 3rd or 4th Year Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Apprentice

- Reliable and turns up on time

- Keen to learn and improve

- Comfortable working in roof spaces and under floors

- Willing to listen, ask questions and take direction

- Proud of doing clean, professional work

- Respectful when working inside customers' homes

- Able to work well as part of a team

- Holding an Australian driver's licence (preferred)

- Holding a White Card, or willing to obtain one

A strong 1st-year apprentice with genuine hands-on HVAC experience may also be considered.
