**About CDK Stone**

For over 40 years, CDK Stone have been providing total support to the stone industry. We are not only renowned for 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.

With a history of hiring and developing engineering graduates and progressing them in the business, we are now looking for our next Graduate Technician to join our Service Department on the Gold Coast.

**About the Role**

Across your first 6 months, you will travel to and live in Melbourne and go through a structured training and induction program at our national head office with accommodation and expenses accounted for. You will then be able to move back to your home state and join the established team in Arundel.

As part of the role, you will work closely with Senior Technicians to:

- Work with a cohort of fellow graduates to develop your skills and knowledge across a broad range of CNC machinery
- Assist Senior Technicians to effectively maintain machinery across Melbourne (for 6 months), Gold Coast and Brisbane.
- Conduct root cause analysis, fault-finding and diagnosing efficient solutions to machine breakdowns.
- Execute the installation process from pre-site inspection, overseeing the delivery of machines, assembling the machines through to training end users.
- Act as a key point of contact for the customer, you will represent the brand and communicate with key stakeholders from Production Managers to small business owners.

**Why You Want to Work Here**
- We have a history of training and developing Engineering graduates. Receive guided training and support from Senior Technicians.

- Rare opportunity in QLD manufacturing, and gaining exposure to manufacturing 4.0 technology.
- Receive a remuneration package that includes an annual salary, paid overtime, a work vehicle

**About You**
- Whilst you have enjoyed learning the theory behind mechanical systems, you prefer work that is more practical and allows you to use your hands.
- Your interest for problem solving extends outside the classroom where you may find yourself investigating issues with your washing machine, dishwasher or oven and take pride in being able to find the fault and repair the issue yourself.
- You may have seen or been exposed to Engineering roles that are more office based. Instead, you are looking for a role that allows you to get on the production floor and be hands-on working with the machines.

**Selection Criteria**

To be considered for this opportunity, you will need to be able to tick the list below.
- Current and unrestricted driver’s licence
