Graduate Geotechnical Engineer (Brisbane City)

About Us Since starting in Perth in 2012, CMW Geosciences has expanded to 22 offices with over 330 employees across Australia and New Zealand. We are hard‑working, down‑to‑earth and passionate engineers and geologists who provide quality geotechnical site investigation, analysis, and design advice to the construction, infrastructure and energy sectors. As part of the Kiwa Group, we’re backed by a global network of 12,000+ staff across 35+ countries. As a graduate at CMW, you’ll be treated like an industry skilled 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‑related skills, and within 3‑4 years, we expect you’ll be able to manage and run projects from start to finish. Our Mackay office is looking to bring on graduates for May 2026 and July 2026 commencement. A Typical Day CMW Geosciences graduates fulfil our field‑based roles. A typical day would include going to site to complete manual field work tasks and testing. On‑site testing might include logging rock and soil bore holes, undertaking hand augers or observing machine‑excavated test pits. On our construction sites you would likely be observing piling, retaining walls or ground improvement sites. If you are 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 penetration testing, infiltration testing and hand auger boring.
