Apprentice of the Month – October 2024

Congratulations to Keenan Quinn – Ai Group ATC’s Apprentice of the Month for October!

We’re thrilled to announce Keenan Quinn as our Apprentice of the Month for October 2024. As an Electrical Apprentice hosted by Sims Metal’s Rocklea site in Brisbane, Keenan has made a remarkable impact on his team. Beginning his journey in 2021, he’s consistently shown a drive for excellence that sets him apart, and he’s well on track to complete his apprenticeship in 2025.

Keenan’s growth in his trade has been outstanding, marked by his strong work ethic and enthusiasm for learning. Stefan Durkay, his supervisor at Sims Metal, shared just how valuable Keenan has become to the team: “Learning from skilled engineers and tradespeople has been a real opportunity for Keenan, and he’s absolutely risen to it. He’s a true asset to our engineering and operations team here in QLD. His confidence, willingness to learn, and problem-solving mindset contribute to running our operations efficiently and safely every day.”

Keenan’s dedication is evident in the projects he takes on. Recently, he led the installation of an LED screen for a specific machine in Brisbane, a task that required technical expertise and careful leadership—qualities that Keenan demonstrated flawlessly. He has also been involved in other projects beyond Queensland, including a major one in Melbourne, where his adaptability and skills were apparent.

Safety is a top priority for Keenan, who not only follows protocols diligently but also keeps his teammates on track to ensure a safe, productive worksite. His journey so far is shaping him into a skilled, reliable, and trusted tradesperson, and it’s exciting to see him continue to develop his talents at Sims Metal. We’re incredibly proud of Keenan’s hard work and dedication—he’s truly making a difference in his role, and we’re delighted to celebrate him this month!

Congratulations, Keenan, on being our Apprentice of the Month!
