Flexible work suited to family life

CDC Queensland, part of one of Australia's fastest growing and largest bus companies, is firmly focused on providing family-friendly employment for our talented mechanical workforce on the Sunshine Coast. Our Operations and Maintenance teams covering Caloundra, Noosa, Coolum and Kunda Park employ great family and community people that value having a well-paid local job and work-life balance just as much as you do.

You will work by day only, and early starts are also available, so you can get home to attend sports and schooling events in the afternoon. On top of full-time work, we can also offer you a four-day week option giving you the benefit of long weekends to have extended breaks with your family and friends.

Our regional operations are expanding with specially designed rosters so that you can optimise your earning potential while striking the right balance between your work, family, lifestyle, and community interests.

Skills development

The days of heavy lifting in mechanical workshops are long gone with the hoists and the modern tools and diagnostics CDC uses. Unlike other environments, your work area is clean and spacious, allowing plenty of room to manoeuvre. Nothing matters more to us than your safety and well-being in the workplace. Any HSEQ training and development you need, we will provide.

Most of our work nowadays is servicing, repairing, and maintaining a diverse heavy vehicle fleet offering industry-leading mechanical experience. Retraining for electric vehicles will be provided. In addition to working independently without constant supervision, you will be eligible for OCE accreditation, a Working at Heights certificate and Forklift training. We also offer you the opportunity to upskill from a light to heavy vehicle licence at no cost to you and will supply your uniforms, laundry, PPE, tools, and boots.

Join us and supercharge your market value with qualifications, training, and experience across a range of trades, including heavy vehicle mechanics, auto electrical, air conditioning, and electric mobility.
