About Us
Since starting in Perth in 2012 CMW Geosciences has expanded to 22 offices with 300 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 a graduate at CMW 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 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 3-4 years we expect you'll be able to manage and run projects from start to finish.
Our Brisbane office is looking to bring on a graduate in November 2025 or early February 2026.
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. 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.
