If you have experience, knowledge and skills with Australian skills, training and apprenticeships policy and systems, and you want to put this to practical use for manufacturing workers, then we want to hear from you.
The skills of AMWU members are vital to securing the future of Australian manufacturing. From fitters, boilermakers and mechanics through to technicians, process workers and administrative workers – and many more – AMWU members are creating, building and maintaining the products we all rely on to live a good life.
Securing the integrity of our trades and occupations is core work of the AMWU. Robust and transparent systems for recognition of qualifications, classification of work and progression frameworks ensure that AMWU members are recognised and rewarded for the important work they do.
AMWU members are also campaigning for fair and equitable pay for apprentices, along with consistent minimum standards to ensure training quality. This includes keeping apprentices ‘on the tools’ – learning their trades on-the-job with skilled tradespeople.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The role involves working across a range of tasks within the Skills, Training and Apprenticeships team.
The core work of the role is providing classification services including assistance in line with the manufacturing award classification process. It involves working closely with AMWU delegates, providing them with support to take an active role in ensuring that manufacturing workers are appropriately recognised and rewarded for the work they do.
