Apprentice Mechanic – Muswellbrook
What do you enjoy most about your role at Hitachi?
I’m a 4th year apprentice plant mechanic. I fix heavy machinery in the mines and also construction machinery, for example; excavators, dump trucks, dozers and articulating dump trucks. I love that I could be working on different machines with completely different situations. Every day is different, so I learn something new in every situation when working on the machinery.
Has your pathway into this field been challenging?
It has been quite challenging balancing TAFE with working full time. However, working with great supervisors and tradesmen, whether it’s in the workshop or out in field, having all that experience and knowledge from others has definitely helped me learn throughout my apprenticeship.
Has it been a fulfilling career journey?
Yes it has definitely been fulfilling, as the work conditions constantly change. Every day is different and an exciting way to learn new things is. I’m on the lifestyle roster which is great, because I can go travelling on my days off, play rugby union and hang out with my friends.
Does your job provide you a sense of achievement?
I get more confident every week with the support of my tradesmen. While I am still in my apprenticeship and still learning, I try my absolute best in everything I do. I’ve also recently joined the Muswellbrook branches’ safety committee, so I’m hoping I can bring some new fresh ideas to have positive outcomes throughout the workforce.

How would you describe your experience so far at Hitachi?
I have had the best experience at Hitachi. As soon as my apprenticeship is completed, at the start of next year I look forward to staying on full time in Field Service and continuing my Hitachi OEM career.
What personal attributes have brought you success so far in your apprenticeship?
Always show interest in the jobs you’re undertaking, be like a sponge and absorb as much knowledge as you can from the tradesmen and supervisors. There is a lot of experience and wisdom to access, and always so much to learn and expand on your experience!
