2027 Cadia Apprentice Program - Fitter Machinist

Looking to kick off a hands-on career with real purpose? At Cadia, you won’t just learn a trade—you’ll become part of a supportive crew who are passionate about helping you grow. From day one, you’ll be backed by mentors, friendly teammates, and technical pros who’ll guide you every step of the way. You’ll pick up valuable life skills, gain industry knowledge, and learn from some of the best in the business.

Just 25 minutes from Orange, NSW, Cadia is home to Australia’s largest block cave—so if you're curious about cutting-edge mining techniques and want to be part of something big, this is the place to be.

Ready to dive into the heart of mining? As an apprentice FITTER MACHINIST, you’ll play a crucial role in keeping heavy machinery like drills, excavators, and crushers running at full power! You’ll get your hands dirty maintaining and repairing top-tier equipment, fixing mechanical issues, and making sure everything runs smoothly. Plus, you’ll use cool tools like lathes and mills to fabricate and machine custom parts that keep the wheels of mining in motion.

Here’s what we offer our apprentices:

• A 4-year nationally recognised trade qualification that opens doors to endless opportunities
• A full tool kit, uniforms, and top-quality PPE—we’ve got you covered
• Accommodation provided when you attend TAFE—no stress, just learning
• A hands-on training plan that builds your skills from day one

If your application is successful, you’ll start with a quick online video interview. Then, if you're shortlisted, we’ll invite you to our Assessment Centre on-site for the next step!
