Be part of the team shaping the future of Australia’s collision repair industry. 

At AMA Group, we believe it’s our responsibility as the largest collision repairer in Australia and New Zealand to train more than our share of industry talent. Our industry-leading Apprentice Program is the largest automotive collision repair apprenticeship program in the Southern Hemisphere, currently supporting 470+ apprentices across Australia and New Zealand.

You’ll also contribute to initiatives that expand industry pathways through school engagement programs, work experience placements and career events, helping attract the next generation of talent into the collision repair industry.

As the Apprentice Program Coordinator, you’ll play a key role in the operational delivery of the program, including:

• Coordinating apprentice training plans and development activities
• Supporting apprentice onboarding, inductions and program milestones
• Liaising with site leaders, apprentices, mentors and training providers
• Managing apprentice program reporting, scorecards and progress tracking
• Coordinating apprentice recruitment campaigns and intake processes
• Supporting career expos, school engagement and work experience programs
• Managing apprentice funding, subsidies and government compliance
• Maintaining program records, documentation and reporting 

You’ll be working across a national program that supports hundreds of apprentices, making a real impact on their development and career outcomes.
