Apprentice Testimonials
HAMISH TERVIT
Locomotive Engineer (Train Driver)
During my time in the Locomotive Engineer apprenticeship programme I've had an exceptional experience. The support from my managers, minder drivers, and colleagues has been outstanding, making my journey smooth and enriching.
My advice to newcomers would be to embrace every opportunity for learning, stay open to feedback, and build strong relationships with your minders and peers. This apprenticeship offers a unique chance to grow professionally and personally, so make the most of it by staying committed and enthusiastic.
MARCIANO ROSIN III
Traction Electrician-Auckland Metro
I started working in KiwiRail since 2020, Being a Traction Line Mechanic is not easy but with the help and support of my team and the whole department I've learned a lot.
KiwiRail apprenticeship programme and training helped me to develop my skills. I am now confident to do the task and I am almost there getting my full license as a Traction Line Mechanic.
BEN BISHOP
Mechanical Engineer
The whole apprenticeship has been a highlight for me. I’ve had support from such a broad range of tradespeople, who’ve passed on their skills. When I came to a unit standard where I was unsure how to gather the evidence required, there was always someone to ask.
It’s not about what you know, but what you can find out. KiwiRail does what it says it’ll do, and that’s massive. It’s a wide-reaching business and I wanted to be involved in that.
