Unfulfilled with a desk job, former engineer Rory Milner decided a change of career was on the cards.

He embarked on a Certificate III in Carpentry with mega-builder Sunbuild and is loving every minute of his work. In 2018 alone, Rory had the humble honour of being named Master Builders Australia National Apprentice of the Year, Master Builders Australia NT Overall Apprentice of the Year, and the Master Builders Australia NT General Building and Construction Apprentice of the Year.

Rory thoroughly enjoyed the experiences of working and undertaking training at both Sunbuild and Charles Darwin University (CDU), as he was able to complete his trade blocks at CDU over the course of a year, while also undertaking further training in a Certificate IV in Building and Construction at the same time.

Rory’s plans for the future include developing his skills by undertaking further training to increase his workplace flexibility and skillset.
