Industrial Electricians install, maintain, test, troubleshoot, and repair electrical equipment and other types of electrical/electronic controls on equipment found in industrial sites or plants.
Industrial Mechanic Millwrights install, maintain, repair, and remove stationary industrial machinery, mechanical equipment, and automated and robotic systems. They most often carry this work out in industrial plants and factories.
Instrumentation & Control Technicians install, repair, maintain, and calibrate industrial measuring and controlling instrumentation, helping to ensure that all machines in a plant are safe and running correctly. They may regulate equipment water flow or check air quality in a mine. Since the safe operation of the plant relies on these instruments, technicians must constantly monitor them.
Light Rail Overhead Contact Systems Linepersons help ensure that light rail transit systems are working correctly. They are responsible for building and maintaining lighting systems, electrical track switch systems, contact conduct systems, and aerial feeder systems. This could mean working with any of the parts or equipment involved in the creation and maintenance of a light rail system, including conductors, switches, transducers, air compressors, track gauges, hydraulic presses, voltmeters, ammeters, puller-tensioner machines, and hoisting equipment.
Locksmiths work in locksmith shops where they cut keys; sell new locks to customers; and install, repair, and replace locks.

Machine-Tool Builders & Integrators build, assemble, and integrate components and systems on stand-alone and machine-tools on multi-station automated machine tool systems. These automated machine-tool systems are used in all sectors of manufacturing, including assembly, processing, and fabricating systems.
Metal Fabricators (Fitters) make and repair parts used in the construction of buildings, bridges, tanks, towers, boilers, pressure vessels, and other structures. They lay out, cut, and fabricate structural steel, plate, and different ferrous and non-ferrous metals used in the manufacturing and construction industries.
The Mould Designer apprenticeship will only be granted to an individual who has successfully completed a Certificate of Qualification for Mould Maker (431A). In addition to a Certificate of Qualification, the candidate must have on-the-job experience as a journeyperson. Mould designers may specialize in any of the following: compression, transfer, blow, extrusion, thermal set injection, thermal plastic injection, vacuum, or die cast moulds.
Mould Makers design, make, and repair moulds/models used in industry to mass-produce plastic or metal components and products. Mould makers may use hand-moulding techniques for small quantities of items, but will often use computer and industrial technology to produce large numbers of identical items. They may also specialize in any small casting, medium size casting, or large size casting.
