Become a Trainer and Assessor with Everthought
If you’re trade-qualified and thinking about getting off the tools, we want to hear from you. We’re looking for experienced tradies to train and assess students on campus in Brisbane and Perth, or visit apprentices out on job sites across QLD, WA and NSW.
Stay in the industry you love
Training keeps you connected to the trade without the physical toll of being on the tools every day.
Keep your industry connections
Working across job sites means you stay plugged into the industry, not stuck in a classroom.
Train in the field or on campus
Not all trainer and assessor roles are classroom-based. Some of our trainers visit apprentices out on real construction sites across QLD, WA and NSW, assessing their progress in the actual environments they work in every day.
About the role
As a trainer and assessor at Everthought, you work directly with apprentices and students to help them build the practical skills and knowledge they need to complete their qualification.
Depending on the role, that might mean delivering hands-on training sessions at one of our campuses in Brisbane or Perth, or travelling to apprentices’ job sites across QLD, WA and NSW to observe and assess their progress. Some trainers and assessors do both.
Day to day, you’d be delivering training sessions, assessing student competency, recording results, and giving feedback that helps students improve and stay on track.
Do you need your TAE?
To deliver and assess nationally recognised training in Australia, you need the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. This is an ASQA regulatory requirement that applies to all RTOs.
If you don’t hold it yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean the door is closed. We’re open to supporting the right person to get there, in some cases you may be able to start working under the supervision of a qualified trainer and assessor while you complete your TAE.
What you do need from day one is your trade qualification and solid, current industry experience. You can only train in what you know.

*A training contract is a legally binding agreement between the employer and the apprentice or trainee. In signing the training contract, both parties are bound by certain obligations expressed in the contract. The training contract sets out the terms of the apprenticeship or traineeship, which are agreed to by both the employer and the apprentice or trainee.
A minimum of 2 years, depending on your employer and progress. Our workplace training model means you’re building competency on the job the whole time, which keeps things moving.
Apprentice wages are set by the Building and Construction General On-site Award. Your pay increases each year as you progress. It’s not a full trade wage from the start, but you are earning while you learn, which puts you well ahead of full-time study.
Absolutely. There’s no upper age limit. We work with school leavers, career changers, and people re-entering the workforce. If you want to get into waterproofing, we can help make it happen.
