MultiSkills Training expanding their operations to an additional facility in Geelong
Founder and CEO of MultiSkills Training Lionel Skinner noticed a growing demand for quality registered training organisations (RTO’s) to deliver the skills required to gain a start, or progress in the burgeoning Civil and Building Construction industries. With 35 years’ experience operating a successful commercial bricklaying business in Geelong, Lionel launched MultiSkills Training in 2011 in Werribee, Victoria to service students and clients within the Geelong and Melbourne Metro regions.
The current total number of Hitachi machines to 12 including 8 x ZX38U-5 excavators

“Multiskills training expand their operations to a new Geelong site”
“The machines are performing very well, we have had no major problems..." - Lionel Skinner
Hitachi mini excavators at the new MultSkills Training site
MultiSkills recently accepted delivery of four brand new Hitachi ZX33U-5 mini excavators bringing their current total number of Hitachi machines to 12 including 8 x ZX38U-5 excavators. Lionel and the team at MultiSkills value reliability as their machines are being used constantly for training and assessment. “The machines are performing very well, we have had no major problems. We have a current combined total of around 30,000 operating hours across our machines.” He also states good re-sale value and easy access to parts as major influences towards his decision to purchase Hitachi excavators.
Additionally MultiSkills Training has found HCA and sales representative Shane Hickson to be accommodating and supportive at all stages of the machine purchasing process. “We have always found Hitachi Australia excellent to deal with, prompt to respond to any queries or quotations and delivery of machines, associated equipment and parts has always been on time as promised” said Lionel.

A different look for a working machine.
This custom Hitachi ZX85USB-7 stands apart with a striking blue finish completed through Revesby, combined with detailed bespoke scroll work completed in-house to create a true blue unit.
Backed by a full engcon setup and complete attachment package, this machine is not only built to stand out, it is built to perform across a wide range of applications.
Delivered out of Hitachi Canberra for Specialized Digging Services (SDS) (@gb_diggs), with more custom builds still to come.
Built for demanding environments and trusted where performance matters.

Thank you to the team at Synergy Resource Management for your continued trust and support.
Some people know exactly what they want to do from the start.
For Tristan, an apprenticeship was the opportunity to build practical skills, work with experienced technicians, and be part of an industry that keeps Australia moving.
As an apprentice with Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia, he’s learning what it really takes to work on heavy equipment - from hands-on servicing and maintenance through to problem solving in the workshop and out in the field.
Every day brings something different. New challenges. New lessons. New opportunities to improve.
Because becoming a qualified tradesperson is not just about turning spanners.
It is built through experience, consistency, and the willingness to keep learning.
Hear Tristan share his journey and what being part of the Orange Family means to him.
This is what development looks like:
Hands-on learning. Real responsibility. A future built to last.
