Canberra, ACT, Australia Benmax Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year
Start your career in a trade that's in high demand

Why choose this trade? If you're hands-on, detail-focused and like working with metal, welding could be the perfect trade for you. It's a skill that's always in demand and offers great pay, job security, and opportunities to specialise as you grow.

As a Sheet Metal Apprentice, you'll learn to install commercial heating and cooling systems – big, technical equipment in places like hospitals, shopping centres, and office buildings. You'll work with a friendly team on a variety of tasks and build real skills for life.

A day in the life:

You'll spend your days on site with the team, helping install the pipework and equipment that keeps large buildings running - like air conditioning, heating and chilled water systems. You'll use power tools, measure and cut pipes, fit them into place, and learn how these systems are put together from the ground up. Some jobs will be quick fixes, others will take weeks to complete, and you'll work closely with experienced tradies who will show you how it's done. It's physical, hands-on work that takes focus, problem-solving, and teamwork.

About the job:

We're offering full-time apprenticeships with our Canberra team for people ready to kick off their career in HVAC.

You will:

  • Learn on the job while completing your Certificate III in Engineering (Fabrication)
  • Develop skills in sheet metal installation, including measuring, cutting, folding, and fitting ductwork and lagging
  • Learn to install commercial HVAC systems, read plans, and use tools and equipment
  • Be part of a supportive team environment that values safety, quality, and teamwork
Why work with Benmax?
  • Get paid above award rates and have your training fees covered
  • Monthly RDOs and opportunities for overtime
  • Work across a range of interesting commercial and industrial projects
  • Uniforms, PPE and tools provided
  • Regular BBQs, wellbeing programs, and a team that looks out for each other
  • A safe, inclusive and respectful workplace. We're committed to supporting all apprentices to succeed
  • We're serious about your future. Many of our apprentices stay on and grow into senior, supervisor and leadership roles
What you'll need:
  • Current Australian working rights (must be able to gain security clearance)
  • Finished Year 12 or equivalent
  • A valid driver's licence
  • A genuine interest in learning a technical trade
  • Good attitude, attention to detail, and strong communication skills
