Kick Start Your Career with BGT

Want to put your electrical skills to work on something big? Here's an opportunity to be part of a major project that's helping shape the future of healthcare in Warrnambool. BGT Jobs & Training is recruiting an Electrical Apprentice (any year) to work with Prime Electrical on the Warrnambool Hospital redevelopment.


Whether you're just starting out or already well into your apprenticeship, this is a chance to gain valuable hands-on experience on a major construction project, learn from experienced tradespeople and keep building your career.


And there's something pretty satisfying about being able to point to a major community facility and say, "I helped build that."


What will you be doing?


You'll be working alongside an experienced electrical team, gaining practical skills and contributing to the delivery of the hospital project.


You'll have opportunities to:


  • Develop your electrical skills in a major construction environment.
  • Work alongside experienced electricians and other trades.
  • Learn through hands-on experience, mentoring and regular training.
  • Build your understanding of workplace safety, quality standards and industry practices.
  • Continue progressing towards your Certificate III in Electrotechnology (Electrician).

Who are we looking for?


We're looking for someone who is keen to learn, takes pride in their work and wants to make the most of a great opportunity.


You'll need to:


  • Be a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th Year Electrical Apprentice, or be ready to commence your first year.
  • Live in Warrnambool or the surrounding area, or be willing to relocate.
  • Have a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.
  • Work well with others and follow instructions.
  • Take workplace safety seriously.
  • Be reliable, motivated and ready to get involved.
  • Previous construction or infrastructure experience would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

Who can apply?


This opportunity supports employment pathways for people from identified priority groups.


Applicants must meet at least one of the following criteria:


  • Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people
  • People experiencing significant or entrenched disadvantage
  • Long-term unemployed people

  • Women
  • Women escaping family or domestic violence
  • Single parents returning to the workforce
  • People living with disability
  • Mature-aged workers (45+)
  • LGBTQIA+ people
  • People living in regional areas

You only need to meet ONE of these criteria to be eligible


Why this opportunity?


Prime Electrical is a family-owned business that has grown into a major electrical contractor, delivering projects across commercial, residential, healthcare and education sectors.


Working on the Warrnambool Hospital redevelopment means you'll be gaining experience on a significant project while continuing to develop your trade skills.


You'll benefit from:


  • Hands-on experience on a major construction project
  • Ongoing mentoring and guidance.
  • A structured induction and regular workplace training.
  • Opportunities to learn from experienced tradespeople.
  • Support as you progress through your electrical apprenticeship.
