As an apprentice electrician with BGIS, you'd work on-site at a large hospital in Southport, helping install, service and maintain light, power and control circuits. You'd assist with testing things like RCDs, emergency lighting and switchboards, and help qualified technicians with fault finding and repairs. You'd learn to use test equipment and digital tools, and develop skills operating elevated work platforms and ladders. You'd also help out with work records, timesheets and basic quotes while completing a structured apprentice training program alongside experienced tradespeople.

The honest preview

The valuable

- You get PPE, a uniform, an iPad, a phone and in-house training provided, so you're not paying for your own gear.

The hard parts

- You'd be working in one of the Gold Coast's biggest and most complex hospital sites, which is a demanding place to learn the trade.

What surprises people

- The employer specifically encourages women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTQ+ people and people from diverse backgrounds to apply.
