About CDK Stone
For over 40 years, CDK Stone have been providing total support to the stone industry.

We are not only renowned for importing and selling high quality natural stone and a premium range of tools and equipment, but we install, service and maintain a wide range of industrial CNC stone processing machinery for customers across Australia.

Our reputation is not only due to the high-end machinery and quality service we provide, but also our ability to train, support and develop people from outside the industry.

With a history of hiring and developing engineering graduates and progressing them in the business, we are now looking for our next Trainee Technician to join our service department.

Why You Want to Work Here

• You will be joining a company with a structured week to week training program and have the opportunity to work with industry experts.

• You will not only be learning the knowledge and skills, but be given the work vehicle, phone, laptop and tools to get the job done. Given our national presence, you will also go on paid interstate travel to other branches across Australia.

About You

• Whether it is the car in the garage or the computer in the office, you have always enjoyed situations that allow you to solve practical problems and work with your hands.

That's why you chose engineering in the first place:
to pull things apart, understand how they work, and put them back together again.

• With studies in engineering, you have probably enjoyed units that involve CAD/CAM design and are looking for a role that allows you to install and service CNC machinery.
• While you may not know much about the stone industry, don't know how to install a 5axis milling machine or have never spoken to a Stone Mason, you are someone who proactively learns everything you can and look forward to becoming a true expert in a technical field.
