Trainees will be provided with ongoing support and mentoring throughout the program.
Roster
The Traineeship is expected to commence in early July 2026, with the initial 8–12 weeks based in Perth for training towards the Certificate III in Process Plant Operations through South Metropolitan TAFE. Following this initial training block, successful candidates will mobilise to either the CPF or FPSO, where they will be assigned to a panel and commence rostered shifts.
While aligned to a 3:4, 3:5 roster, Trainees will have 3 weeks on facility, followed by a 3-week break and then attend INPEX Perth Office for 1 week or 2 weeks (Mon – Fri 7.6 hr) to complete training and work on task books.
