Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand CMW Geosciences Full time

CMW started in Perth in 2012 and has since expanded to 10 offices with 250 employees across Australia and New Zealand.

Were hard-working, down to earth and passionate engineers and geologists providing quality geotechnical site investigation, analysis and design advice to the construction infrastructure and energy sectors.

As a graduate at CMW, you'll be treated like an industry professional from the get-go.

After completing the necessary trainings and inductions, you'll go out in the field to learn the practical field skills that form the basis of the technical work we do.

You'll have access to senior technical staff to guide you through the early stages of your career and fast-track your growth.

You'll be exposed to the full project lifecycle, to start to prepare you for career from day one.

Unlike larger organisations, you wont be siloed into one stream of the business or handed low responsibility tasks for the first year.

On our construction sites you would be observing piling, retaining walls or ground improvement sites.


If you're in the office, you would likely be processing logs and soil samples, writing technical reports and assisting project managers with deliverables.


Our range of projects are diverse across our offices, you could be communicating design elements to contractors on a community housing development in Rotorua.

Or, in regional Queensland at the MacIntyre Windfarm carrying piling supervision and providing construction phase support.

Or, across the country in Perth at the Jandakot Airport undertaking CPT testing, dynamic cone penetrations testing, infiltration testing and hand auger boring.
