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. 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.
Our new Bendigo office is looking to expand the team to service projects throughout Victoria and beyond. We are looking for a graduate to join our team immediately.
A Typical Day
CMW 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, 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.
In Australia, many of our sites are in remote, outback locations. You could be onsite for up to three weeks working 6-7 days a week at a time. This hard work is compensated with overtime pay and/or time in lieu as well as an away from home allowance. You'll have the opportunity to travel to unique parts of the country working on large scale projects that will set you up with unparalleled geotechnical experience.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide sponsorship for this position. You must have valid Australian work rights.
