Keeping Up With Industry 4.0
The Bre Automation Trainee Program

All over the world and more recently in Australia, manufacturing facilities have been introducing new digital technologies to modernise their production capabilities, creating greater flexibility, increased capacity and enhanced workplace safety. Advanced automation technologies such as robotics (and now collaborative robots), vision systems and sensor technologies, data analytics and machine learning and new open communications protocols have created a modern manufacturing environment where machines and individual devices are becoming “smart” and interconnected.

Eligibility Requirements for the trainee program

Over the last few years we have had a number of successful candidates transition from our Electrical team into the Automation team, and due to demand from new and existing clients for skilled technicians, BRE are formalising our Automation Trainee program.

This is a 12 month program with a focus on “on the job” training with the Automation team, as well as hands-on learning, instructor led training courses with our Automation partners, and mentoring by our Automation Team Leaders
