The CCS head office and factory is now under one roof on the corner of Dalby and Mildura Streets, opposite the famous Fyshwick markets. Close to the eateries and shopping of Manuka and Kingston, whilst being able to walk across the road for some of the best fresh produce in Canberra, means staff are encouraged to get out of the office, into the fresh air and get some fresh food.

With the factory and warehouse at the rear, including a metal-working and training studio, means that staff from admin to installers to engineers, mix regularly and skills can be learnt or just appreciated.

Realising that a lot of our people are predominantly working in the field and on-site, we provide quality vehicles and equipment, site offices (fully air-conditioned!), tablets and smartphones. We encourage regular visits to the office by technicians, as well as office staff going on-site for toolbox talks and safety briefings.

At any one time, CCS has a number of apprentices in training, and has done so since the very beginning. Some have risen to become managers, and continue to inspire the junior tradesmen and technicians. We believe everyone has had to be the learner at some point in their life, and deserve respect at this important time in their career development.

As part of the CCS Apprenticeship Program, The Apprentice Day Out is an initiative to allow apprentices to develop project management skills. It also gives apprentices the chance to choose a cause for the whole company to apply themselves for a day. The apprentices run the project and the day, giving them a chance to boss the management around – all for a good cause.

CCS takes applications for apprentices in November each year for commencement in January the following year.
