2027 Apprentice Intake - Brooklyn
About us:
At CitiPower and Powercor, we’re proud to deliver electricity to over a million Victorian customers every day through our network of poles and wires. But more than that, we’re here to power communities, support local businesses and keep critical services running smoothly. We’re essential to them all – and none of this happens without our people.
About our Apprenticeship Program:
Join us as an Apprentice in January 2027!
Our Apprentice Lineworkers construct and maintain overhead and underground electrical lines and structures. They also respond to and rectify network faults to restore supply to our customers.
Our Apprentices must be willing to work outdoors, at heights and in all weather conditions.
Our four-year program sees our Apprentices:
- Be secure. Solid skills, real experience, and a future career that’s going places.
- Be trained. Earn a nationally recognised TAFE certification.
- Be supported. Great pay, valuable benefits and a 1:1 mentor to support your journey.
- Be valued. Feel supported from day one and grow as part of a wider team.
- Be hands-on. Build and learn practical skills from the best in the business.
If you want to be part of something essential, be essential with us as you work while earning an industry recognised trade qualification: Certificate III – ESI Distribution Overhead.
