Apprentice Electroplater

  • NSW
  • Max. Term Contract Full Time
  • Swanson Industries

About the Opportunity

We're looking for an Apprentice Electroplater to join our Georgetown team, starting December/January. You'll get hands-on training in hard chrome plating - learning the process from surface preparation through to plating and finishing - while working on cylinders and components that keep major mining and industrial equipment running.

 

You won't be figuring this out on your own. Through our Elevate Apprenticeship Program, you'll have a mentor in your corner, structured learning through the Elevate Academy, and a wider community of apprentices across Questas Group going through the same journey.

 

 

Your Responsibilities

  • Work alongside senior electroplaters on hard chrome plating processes
  • Learn surface preparation, plating, and finishing techniques
  • Assist with inspection and quality checks on plated components
  • Get hands-on with chrome plating equipment and processes

 

 

About You

  • Minimum Year 10 High School Certificate
  • Curious about how surface treatment and finishing processes work
  • Comfortable with maths, and good with your hands
  • Careful and precise - accuracy matters in this trade

 

 

What's In It For You?

A nationally recognised trade qualification, earned with a business at the forefront of surface technology in Australia - plus rotations across our local branches to build a well-rounded skill set most apprenticeships can't offer. And a career that keeps going after your ticket comes through: apprentices who complete the Elevate Program go on to build lasting careers across Questas Group, backed by mentoring, recognition, and the resources of a national network.

 

 

Why Swanson Industries?

  • Employee benefits program - offering salary packaging options, novated leasing, discounts at everyday stores and much more!
  • Access to our inhouse training program.
  • 8 weeks paid parental leave & 1 week secondary carer leave.
  • An inclusive culture and access to our Women’s Lead Network
  • A robust focus on work, health and safety through our “Home Safely Every day” program
  • Access to Fitness Passport
