Council offers an excellent development program with exposure to many elements of the job throughout the course.
Successful applicants are required to enter a training contract for four (4) years. Apprentices will be provided with individual training plans and are required to undertake and complete their trade qualification at either a NSW TAFE campus or through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
We encourage applicants who have a passion for working with vehicles and machinery.
