Fitter Machinist Apprenticeship

A fitter machinist fabricates and assembles metal components as required by industry. Metal Fabrication may include the making of a metal part for a machine or any other metal part according to job specifications. From supplied drawings, a fitter machinist forms and assembles metal parts from operating tools such as grinders and drill presses to cut, form, punch or drill the part according to the specifications. Due to the broad application and large range of metals that are used in this industry a fitter machinist has the opportunity to become proficient across a wide range of tools and applications such as the use of CNC machining. Once you become trade qualified in this industry you may consider further study to become a Mechanical Engineer.

Fitter machining is a four year apprenticeship and you will be required to complete a Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade nationally recognised qualification.

  • Hot Tips

      • Don't apply for multiple jobs in multiple vocations.  The employer will  be unsure about where your real desire lies and may not even contact you.
      • Use professional email addresses.  Modern and trendy ones that are inappropriate do not sit well with employers.
      • Always maintain eye contact in the interview.  This shows the employer that you are interested and confident in what they have to say.
      • Give yourself plenty of time to get to the interview.  Research the location, do a test run if you have to.  Getting there 15 minutes early is always better than 5 minutes late.
      • Make sure your referees speak highly of you.  There is nothing worse than a bad reference from a recent employer.
      • Have your resume proof read before sending it to an employer.  Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors will not help your cause.
      • Dress well at all times.  Poor presentation gives the employer the impression that your work performance may also be poor.
      • Remember the interview starts before you walk in the door!  Be prepared to be on show the minute you apply for the job.
      • Make sure in your interview that you have good reasons for wanting the job.  Being vague or sketchy is not what employers want to hear.
      • If you are applying for a job, make sure you have voicemail on your phone.  If an employer cannot contact you, then you may miss out!
      • Don't be late for an interview. An employer may think you will be late for work if you can't get to an interview on time!
      • Is your resume up to date?
      • Spelling and grammatical errors on your resume will lead to an instant rejection by the employer!
      • Don't forget to proof read your resume!
      • One word or two word answers in an interview won't get you across the line.
