Sick of exams? Ready to start doing something real?

Good with your hands? Like making things, fixing things or pulling things apart to understand how they work?

n

Would you rather earn while you learn and study something you are genuinely interested in?

n

ICA is recruiting first-year apprentices to start in January 2027 .

Learn to manufacture guards, covers, cabinets, chutes and other accurate sheet-metal components for custom machinery.

n

Interested in wiring, controls, automation and making machinery come to life?

Industrial Painters and Surface Treatment Technicians n

Like practical work where you can see the result at the end of the day?

Learn abrasive blasting, steel preparation and the application of commercial and industrial protective coatings.

n

This is not house painting. It is skilled industrial work involving specialised equipment, coating systems, surface preparation, quality standards and the protection of manufactured equipment.

More than an apprenticeship n

At ICA, an apprenticeship is not where your development finishes. It is where your career begins.

n

We do not train people to complete one narrow task for the rest of their working lives. Our aim is to develop apprentices into highly capable, multi-skilled tradespeople and technicians .

As your skills grow, you may gain experience across: n

n
- Manufacturing
n
- Machinery and automation
n
- Testing and fault-finding
n
- Technical problem-solving
n
- Site and project work
n

n





If you want to keep learning after completing your trade, ICA will support further training and development.

n

Your pathway could take you from:

n

Not everyone wants to follow the same pathway, and that is fine. You can build an excellent career as a skilled tradesperson, specialist technician, supervisor or site professional.

n

But if you have the ability and ambition to keep progressing, we do not believe your development should stop when your apprenticeship finishes.

n

At ICA, your trade is your foundation, not your ceiling.

n

You bring the effort, ability and ambition. We will provide the training, experience and pathway to help you continue developing.

Good pay and conditions n

ICA apprentices are covered by the Industrial Conveying (Aust) Pty Ltd Enterprise Agreement 2025–2029 .

- Formal trade training
n
- Support from experienced tradespeople, technicians and engineers
n

n

n

n

We pay well because we want to attract good people, train them properly and give them a reason to build their careers with ICA.

This is not the same job every day n

n

n

If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

Not sure which pathway suits you? n

That is completely fine.

n

You are choosing what you want to learn. You are not expected to already know how to do it.

What happens after you apply? n

Shortlisted applicants will complete:

n

n
