Hardware IT Traineeship within Warehouse

Start Your Career in IT Hardware Production

We are looking for a reliable and motivated Hardware Production Trainee to join our Production team in Alexandria NSW.

This role is based in Alexandria, and we are ideally looking for someone who lives locally or within a reasonable commuting distance.

This is a hands-on warehouse and production role involving the processing, testing, cleaning, sorting and preparation of computers and other electronic equipment.

You do not need previous IT experience. We are looking for someone who enjoys practical, repetitive and hands-on work, can follow processes carefully and takes pride in producing quality results.

As part of the traineeship in Information Technology, you will also have the opportunity to complete a nationally recognised Certificate in Information Technology while gaining practical experience working with IT hardware.

Important: This is primarily a production/warehouse-based position working with IT Hardware components, not an IT helpdesk, desktop support role. Applicants seeking a professional IT or Cyber Security position or who already hold a Diploma or higher qualification in IT may not be suitable or eligible for the traineeship.

About the Role

Working as part of our Production team, you will handle a range of used and new IT equipment, including:

• Laptops

• Desktop computers

• Tablets

• Mobile devices

• Computer components and accessories

Your day-to-day work may include:

• Receiving, sorting and organising IT equipment

• Scanning and tracking incoming and outgoing assets

• Inspecting and grading devices

• Testing computers and electronic equipment

• Cleaning and preparing devices for resale or reuse

• Checking screens, keyboards, batteries, ports and other components

• Performing basic hardware checks and diagnostics

• Securely erasing data from devices

• Preparing computers for deployment

• Installing Windows and standard software

• Performing basic hardware upgrades such as RAM and storage

• Assisting with basic repairs and component replacement

• Applying and printing asset labels

• Packing and preparing equipment for dispatch

• Completing quality control checks

• Maintaining an organised and clean warehouse/production area

The role involves standing, moving equipment, repetitive tasks and working to established production processes, so a practical, hands-on approach is important.

About You

We are looking for someone who:

• Enjoys hands-on, practical work

• Is interested in computers and electronic equipment

• Is reliable and punctual

• Has good attention to detail

• Can follow instructions and processes accurately

• Is comfortable performing repetitive tasks

• Works well in a warehouse or production environment

• Is organised and takes pride in their work

• Can work independently and as part of a team

• Has a positive attitude and willingness to learn

• Is physically comfortable handling and moving IT equipment

• Can maintain quality while working towards production targets

You do not need to be an IT professional or have previous IT experience. We will provide training on the equipment, processes and technical skills required for the role.

What You'll Receive

• Full-time paid employment

• Nationally recognised Certificate in Information Technology

• Paid study time during work hours

• On-the-job training and mentoring

• Practical experience working with computers and electronic equipment

• Training in hardware testing and basic diagnostics

• Experience in IT equipment refurbishment and preparation

• Training in data sanitisation and Windows installation

• Full employee entitlements, including annual leave, personal leave and public holidays

• Valuable experience in a busy production environment

Who This Role Is Suited To

This opportunity would suit someone looking to start their working career, particularly someone interested in computers, electronics, warehouse work or practical hands-on roles.

You might be someone who enjoys pulling things apart, putting them back together, working with tools and equipment, or simply working with your hands and wants to develop practical skills while earning a qualification.

This is not a traditional IT support or office-based IT position. The majority of the role is hands-on production work involving the processing, testing, cleaning and preparation of IT equipment.

If you're reliable, practical, willing to learn and enjoy hands-on work, we'd love to hear from you.
