At Alcoa, you will become an essential part of our purpose: to turn raw potential into real progress. The way we see it, every Alcoan is a work-shaper, team-shaper, idea-shaper & world-shaper.

We are seeking motivated candidates who are based locally to our operations and demonstrate a genuine commitment to developing their skills and knowledge. As a nationally recognised employer of choice for gender equity, Alcoa welcomes applications from women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and individuals from diverse backgrounds. We are proud of our strong partnerships with local communities and our ongoing commitment to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we operate.

Fabricator/Welder Apprenticeships are scheduled to commence in early January 2027 and will be based at one of our two refinery locations: Pinjarra or Wagerup.

About the Role
As part of this four-year Apprenticeship Program you will be:
* Getting hands-on experience at work alongside structured TAFE training, working towards a nationally recognised trade qualification.

* Working at times in situations above the ground or in confined spaces where wearing the vital safety equipment is essential.

* Family friendly rosters that allow you to be home after each shift.
