Apprenticeship Program - Signal Maintenance Technicians

Docklands, VIC In the city, Always changing

You'd work out of a train depot in Docklands, paired with an experienced Signal Maintenance Technician who shows you how to fix and maintain the signalling equipment used across Melbourne's train network. It's a four-year apprenticeship, working Monday to Friday, where you study towards a Cert III in Electrotechnology, an A Grade Electrician licence, and a Cert IV in Rail Signalling. You'll travel between different locations across the Melbourne Metro Train Network as part of the job, not just stay in one spot. Metro Trains is taking on four apprentices to start in early January 2026.

The honest preview

The positive





- You get free public transport travel across Victoria while you work here.

The hard parts

- Getting hired involves several steps: online tests, a phone interview, an in-person interview, and medical/police checks before you get the job offer.

What surprises people

- You need to already be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident to apply — visa sponsorship isn't offered.

Industry averages for a qualified Electrician General, across all employers — not this employer’s offer, and after you finish the apprenticeship, not during.
