Ergon Energy now has apprenticeship positions open throughout Queensland, including in Kingaroy, Yarraman and Toowoomba.
Energy Minister Mark Bailey said the annual recruitment campaign for Ergon Energy and Energex will begin this week.
He said 94 positions were being offered at 35 locations from Mossman to Southport and from Normanton to Quilpie.
“These positions are expected to be among the most keenly sought apprenticeships in Queensland,” Mr Bailey said.
“The network businesses have a strong focus on diversity and being representative of the communities they serve.
“As well as seeking to increase the proportion of women, Ergon will reserve a number of positions for candidates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent.
“The successful applicants each year include a mix of school-leavers and mature-age candidates, so people of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to apply for this great opportunity to learn a valuable trade.”
Apprenticeships are available in a range of trades: communications technician, distribution linesperson, transmission linesperson, mechanical trade (diesel fitting) and electrician.
Applications close on October 9.
