Some of Australia’s most in demand apprenticeships are now up for grabs with the launch of Powerlink’s 2024 recruitment campaign.
In a first for Powerlink, these roles are being offered regionally with placements available in Gladstone, as well as Brisbane, to provide support and development opportunities where the work is actually happening.
Across three work streams – Linesperson, Electrical Apprentice and Communication and Control Apprentice – Powerlink has 21 new roles on offer.
Powerlink Chief Operating Officer, Gary Edwards, who started his energy industry career as an apprentice more than 40 years ago, said he was thrilled at the prospect of welcoming the next generation.
“With transmission a key foundation of the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan (QEJP), finding diverse and enthusiastic people to be part of its delivery is essential,” Mr Edwards said.
“It’s also really important for us to work with local communities to ensure real job and development opportunities can be shared as we roll out this critical and transformational work for Queensland’s energy future.”
The campaign kicked off in mid-June and will run for four weeks with applications from female, First Nations and mature aged candidates highly encouraged.
Gary said the new intake of apprentices will begin their energy careers in January 2024.
