Graduate Geotechnical Engineer or Engineering

2 months ago

Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand CMW Geosciences Full time

About Us


Since starting in Perth in 2012, CMW Geosciences has expanded to 11 offices with 250 employees across Australia and New Zealand.

We are 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 Geosciences, you'll be treated like an industry professional from the get-go.

After completing the necessary training 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 a career from day one.

Unlike larger organisations, you won't be siloed into one stream of the business or handed low-responsibility tasks for the first year.

You'll be learning technical, practical and project management skills and within 2-4 years, we expect you'll be able to manage and run projects from start to finish.

We currently have two positions open in our South Auckland as we build out our site investigation team.

We are open to speaking with early career professionals with 0-3 years of experience that can start immediately or before the end of the year.


A Typical Day
CMW Geosciences graduates fulfill our field-based roles. A typical day would include going to site to complete manual fieldwork tasks and testing. Onsite testing might include logging rock and soil bore holes, undertaking hand augers or observing machine-excavated test pits. 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 countries and offices: you could be communicating design elements to contractors on a community housing development in Rotorua.

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

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


What You'll Need

  • A Civil Engineering, Geology or Earth Science Degree
  • Ability to complete strenuous fieldwork tasks
  • A full New Zealand Drivers License and confidence driving manual 4x4 utes
  • A desire to work outside
  • A love of rocks, soil and geology
  • Good interpersonal skills
  • Exceptional organisation and communication skills, both verbal and written

What You'll Get

  • Additional Day Leave on Birthday
  • Provision of a minimum of 50 hours of Training / CPD per year
  • Continued education support through internal weekly training and paid membership to Engineers New Zealand
  • 37.5hour work week when office based
  • 20 days annual leave
