Electrical Apprentice

Electrical Apprentice – 1st, 2nd or 3rd Year

NewSpark Electrical Solutions Pty Ltd
Newcastle, Lake Macquarie & Hunter Region
Full-Time | 4-Day Working Week

NewSpark Electrical Solutions is looking for a 1st, 2nd or 3rd Year Electrical Apprentice to join our team.

For this position, attitude comes first.

We are looking for someone with grit, determination and a strong work ethic. Someone who turns up ready to work, wants to learn, isn’t afraid of a hard day’s work and takes pride in getting the job done properly.

You don’t need to know everything — that’s what an apprenticeship is for. But you do need to bring the right attitude every day.

The Role

This is a full-time position working a 4-day week consisting of 10-hour days.

Successful applicants requiring TAFE enrolment will be enrolled into block-release TAFE at the earliest available intake, allowing you to complete your required training in dedicated blocks.

You’ll work alongside experienced electricians and gain hands-on experience across:

• Residential and commercial electrical works
• Level 2 ASP works
• Overhead and underground electrical services
• Private poles and consumer mains
• Switchboard upgrades and replacements
• Fault finding and maintenance
• New installations and renovations
• Testing and commissioning

We undertake a broad range of work, providing the opportunity to develop skills and experience well beyond basic residential electrical.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has grit, determination and a genuine willingness to work
• Takes pride in their work
• Turns up on time and ready to go
• Is reliable and accountable
• Listens and takes direction
• Wants to learn and improve
• Doesn’t need to be constantly pushed to get things done
• Is willing to have a go and get involved
• Works well as part of a team
• Understands that becoming a good tradesperson takes effort
• Holds a current White Card
• Holds a driver’s licence or is working towards obtaining one

We are open to applicants looking to commence their 1st year, as well as existing 2nd and 3rd Year Electrical Apprentices.

For first-year applicants, previous electrical experience isn’t essential. We would rather employ someone with the right attitude and work ethic who is willing to learn.

What We Offer

• 4-day working week – 10-hour days
• Three-day weekend
• Block-release TAFE at the earliest available intake
• Full-time employment
• Hands-on training from experienced electricians
• Exposure to specialised Level 2 ASP work
• A wide variety of residential and commercial projects
• Opportunity to develop strong technical and fault-finding skills
• Support throughout your apprenticeship
• Long-term opportunities for the right person

The Person Matters

We’re not simply looking to fill a position.

We’re looking for someone who wants to build a career and become a genuinely good electrician.

If you’re motivated, dependable, willing to work hard and want an opportunity to learn a broad range of electrical work, we’d like to hear from you.
