Skilled technicians are in high demand and this is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
This is because so much of our economic future relies on our next generation technicians.
According to the Indeed Career guide, HVAC is the highest paying trade in Australia with skilled technicians earning six figure salaries.
Job site SEEK says boilermakers are the biggest earners typically raking in more than $100,000 per year.
For a job that doesn’t require a university degree, these are attractive salaries.
Technicians are problem-solvers and their craftmanship is being fine-tuned even further with the introduction of new technology and digital tools to increase efficiency and precision.
It’s fair to say our HVACR technicians have never been more appreciated than they are today.
That’s why NextGen 2025 is so important. Thanks to support from the Australian Refrigeration Council, NextGen is back with the official launch taking place tomorrow.
NextGen is an opportunity to reward our most talented apprentices and technicians, allowing them to showcase their abilities.
They get to share their experiences and let everyone know about the great opportunities that are available to young people who pursue a career in HVACR.
This is your chance to showcase your organisation by nominating your best apprentices and technicians under the age of 25.
Nominations officially open today and close on 20 February, 2025.
Winners will be announced in April with our Top 20 technicians under 25 profiled in the April edition of CCN magazine.
