If you’re curious about how things work, enjoy solving practical problems and want to build a real trade career, Milmac could be the place for you.
As a first-year apprentice, you’ll learn to service, diagnose and repair trucks and agricultural machinery alongside experienced technicians who have spent decades in the industry. You’ll get hands-on experience across a wide range of equipment and systems, with support from our team as you work towards your trade qualification through a reputable training provider.
We’re looking for someone who wants to learn and grow—not just fill a position. You don’t need to know everything on day one. What matters is your mechanical aptitude, your attitude, and your willingness to listen, ask questions and give things a go.
