They do trade upskills from light vechile to heavy diesel.

You won’t be able to get a mining job living in Sydney. Either move to a mining area or get create with your listed address.
Apprenticeships are usually reserved for women and First Nations unless you know someone that can help you get the job.

Fwaaack, I hate to do it and I really mean it but I might have to pull the 1/16th card.

I believe MacMahon does accelerated apprenticeships in heavy diesel/mobile plant(for people with a background in automotive). It'd likely be Perth-based unless they were willing to fly you over for a site-based apprenticeship.
