高倍时时彩 is demonstrating its ongoing commitment to enhancing skills and job prospects for aspiring tradespeople in WA communities near its operations through the launch of its 2025 WA apprenticeship recruitment campaign.

All positions offer competitive remuneration and benefits, and successful applicants will be awarded a nationally recognised trade certificate in mechanical fitting, heavy-duty plant mechanics, light vehicle mechanics, fabrication/welding, or electrical instrumentation technology after completing the program.

高倍时时彩鈥檚 Pinjarra refinery first-year mechanical apprentice Damien Farrell, from Baldivis, explained that he applied for the apprenticeship because it aligned with his interests and values.

鈥淢y passion for engineering dates back to my high school days, and I am now in a position where I can apply my skills, absorb knowledge from tradespeople with over 25 years of experience at the company, and develop both my career and confidence in this industry,鈥 Damien said.

鈥淲hat really attracted me to applying for this apprenticeship at 高倍时时彩 was their commitment to the local community, especially following my year-long cadetship with the police force where I focused on promoting the well-being and safety of people.

鈥淚鈥檓 also proud to be part of a company that has such a huge focus on rehabilitation, as I have a strong interest in the restoration of important sites and land.

"This program is extremely valuable, and my end goal is to mentor apprentices and educate other young people about the trade industry by passing on the knowledge and skills I gain through this apprenticeship.鈥
