Apprentice Electrician
My time as an apprentice has been a truly positive experience. I’ve been supported by my peers and team leaders, and have been given every opportunity and challenge needed to grow. I highly recommend anyone considering joining the team at the City to dive in – it's an experience worth taking.
Apprentice Parks and Gardens
I enjoy working in the parks and gardens team. There's a diverse range of plant life and the strong sense of community within my workplace. The exceptional support I received during my early years at the council has equipped me with the skills necessary to maintain the beautiful gardens that our fellow Gold Coast residents can appreciate and enjoy.
