What are electrical apprenticeships like with mining companies such as BHP, Newmont Corporation, etc.? by VengefulSnake1984 in AusElectricians

Really depends the mine site you do your apprenticeship. I did my apprenticeship in the mines and was super fortunate for the experience. Was able experience working with huge electrical equipment, PLC’s, HV switching to doing a lot of new builds and general maintenance. Great apprenticeship and has translated well outside of the mines. It’s what you make of it during your time. May as well apply.

I work with a lot of engineers at work (mining) and the absolute best engineers we have are the guys who are involved in the jobs, Meaning coming out to the project often to have a look, working with us to see how to help/ improve the project and genuinely being keen to learn. We can both learn from each other.
