About Us

Since starting in 2012, CMW Geosciences has expanded to 20 offices with 300 employees across Australia and New Zealand.

As part of the Kiwa Group, we're backed by a global network of 12,000+ staff across 35+ countries

About the role 

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 career from day one. Unlike larger organizations, 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 2-4 years, we expect you'll be able to manage and run projects from start to finish.

A Typical Day

CMW Geosciences graduates fulfill our field-based roles. A typical day would include going to site to complete manual field work 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.
