AddressAPPRENTICE HYDRAULIC FITTER- Cert III Engineering Mechanical Trade
Launch your career in the Machine World! This is a great opportunity to obtain an industry certification and get valuable experience. This is not just a job - it's skills for life - a good fitter can fix anything.
A hydraulic technician is a professional who deals with industrial oil hydraulics for a living & takes care of hydraulic systems installation, commissioning, adjustment, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It also includes component test and repair - from cylinders and valves to hydraulic pumps and motors.
The Benefits
- You get to see and operate a lot of cool stuff
- R-E-S-P-E-C-T - You will be treated with respect, almost like a doctor. And, indeed, we are doctors of sorts, only instead of fixing people, we fix machines. Often very important machines. And if we are good at it - we get the same treatment that a good doctor gets. Naturally, such respect must be earned, so it won't come in one day. But as you grow and gather training hours you'll claim your fame as an “industrial healer”
- You become the holder of very exclusive knowledge and work with global brands
- Troubleshooting is fun! After you've done all the right steps and nailed the malfunction right in the middle of it's forehead - you get what's called “a troubleshooters high”. Awesome & addictive - but in a good way.
- You get to make things. If you are a HYDRAULIC FITTER, you will be making a lot of stuff, sometimes very big stuff, stuff that you will be able to touch, and look at for many years, and be able to point at and say - I built that!
- Complimentary Skills. As you go along in your career you will be picking up and learning a lot of new and very useful skills. Things like welding, machining, electrics & electronics, PLC programming and many other tricks of the trade.
- This profession is not going away. Zero worries about future career prospects. The need for skilled HYDRAULIC FITTERs/technicians is permanent, and since fewer and fewer people are joining this club, your professional value will only go up. If you are thinking about jumping on the hydraulic bandwagon, the right time is now!
