Echuca-Moama is a region that runs on trades. Farms, shops, pubs, homes on the river — they all need sparkies and refrigeration techs who actually live here. Training apprentices isn't charity. It's how you keep skilled people in town.

A trade keeps people here

Too many school leavers feel they have to leave for the city to 'make it'. A four-year electrical or refrigeration apprenticeship is a reason to stay: paid work, a real qualification, and a career that works in a regional town as well as it does in Melbourne.

What we look for

  • Reliability — turning up matters more than what you already know.
  • A current driver's licence, or working towards one.
  • Someone good with people. You're in homes and businesses every day.
  • School leavers and career-changers both welcome. No experience needed.

Harry started this business in 2021 to deliver the kind of local, trustworthy trade service he'd want himself. Passing that on to the next crew is part of the job. If you're keen, get in touch.
