Trades and Apprenticeships
Andy Sudholz
MECHANICAL FITTER Andy Sudholz is living proof that you’re never too old to learn.
He began his career with us in 1992 as a rigger and scaffolder, moved to the newly-formed Tile Shop in 1993 and then, in 1994, at 39 years of age, he began his apprenticeship as a Mechanical Fitter.
“I reckon I was the oldest apprentice in the State,” said Andy.
“But the opportunity to learn new skills was there and I wanted to take it.” Since then, Andy has also completed a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Regency TAFE and says he can’t imagine working anywhere else.
“ASC is a good company to work for,” said Andy. “The work is really interesting – where else in Australia can you work on submarines? I really enjoy what I do.” |
