You'll also have the opportunity to rotate across our local branches during your apprenticeship, giving you exposure to different equipment, processes, and specialisations.

What's In It For You?
A nationally recognised trade qualification, earned at WA's largest hard chrome plating and grinding facility for hydraulic components - plus rotations across our local branches to build a well-rounded skill set most apprenticeships can't offer. And a career that keeps going after your ticket comes through: apprentices who complete the Elevate Program go on to build lasting careers across Questas Group, backed by mentoring, recognition, and the resources of a national network.
