February 12, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven South Burnett locals are honing their skills as apprentices and trainees after joining the Tarong Power Stations team recently.<\/p>\n

Stanwell\u2019s nearby Meandu Mine, which is operated by Downer Mining, will also be welcoming two apprentices and one trainee in early February.<\/p>\n

The new recruits will develop skills in fields such as electrical instrumentation, mechanical engineering, material handling and processing, and business administration over the next one to four years to gain a nationally recognised trade certificate.<\/p>\n

Tarong acting site manager Michael Joy said the successful applicants would get first-hand experience in maintaining one of Queensland\u2019s largest power stations.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to welcome the new apprentices and trainees to our site, with local employment remaining a key focus for our business,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s also great to see the increasing number of women – who make up four of the new recruits – join the site, committed to learning new skills, and taking on a demanding role in a traditionally male-dominated industry.”<\/p>\n

The recruits’ structured learning program will be complemented by practical on-the-job training, alongside qualified tradespeople and mentors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s an exciting time to be entering the energy industry, with plenty of change ahead,” Mr Joy said.<\/p>\n

“This is set to provide many valuable on-the-job learning opportunities.<\/p>\n

“They have signed up for a role that will be challenging, but it will also be very rewarding.<\/p>\n

“As they develop the skills of their trade, they will play a part in helping to ensure a reliable and secure supply of energy to regional Queensland.”<\/p>\n

Stanwell provides opportunities for apprentices and trainees to develop a broad range of technical and professional skills in partnership with Group Training Organisations.<\/p>\n

Tarong Power Station\u2019s apprentices and trainees join a total of 13 new apprentices and trainees welcomed across Stanwell\u2019s operations in Queensland.<\/p>\n

The 2019 intake brings Stanwell\u2019s apprentice and trainee numbers up to 43 across the State.<\/p>\n

Stanwell recruits for apprentices and trainees every year. More information is available on Stanwell\u2019s website<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
