MRAEL, in partnership with Insignia, is looking for a motivated Printing Apprentice to join their production team in Wakerley, QLD for an immediate start (ASAP). This position is also open to students currently in year 12.

Why this apprenticeship is a great start to your career:

- 2-week Christmas shutdown period standard for Insignia staff
- Supportive team, modern production environment, and a solid safety culture

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll start by learning the essentials of print production. During your first 3 months, you’ll build strong foundations through hands‑on tasks such as:

- Preparing materials, inks, and job components
- Helping qualified printers with press setups
- Supporting quality checks and finishing processes
