Build your career with NTS Transport Engineering

NTS Transport Engineering is a growing Perth-based manufacturer specialising in custom transport equipment, vehicle bodies and engineered transport solutions.

We are looking for two reliable and motivated people to begin full-time apprenticeships with our team:

• 1 x Apprentice Fabricator / Vehicle Body Builder
• 1 x Apprentice Fit-Out Technician / Vehicle Body Builder

Whether you’re interested in welding and metal fabrication or assembling and fitting out completed vehicle bodies, this is an excellent opportunity to develop practical skills and build a long-term trade career.

No previous industry experience is required. We’re looking for people with a positive attitude, a strong work ethic and a genuine willingness to learn.

Apprentice Fabricator

Working alongside our experienced fabrication team, you’ll learn how to:

• Fabricate and assemble vehicle bodies and transport equipment
• Perform MIG welding and general metal fabrication
• Read and interpret workshop drawings
• Measure, cut and prepare materials

• Are reliable, punctual and motivated
• Have a strong work ethic and positive attitude
• Work well as part of a team

A relevant pre-apprenticeship or previous experience using hand and power tools would be an advantage, but it is not essential.
