In an increasingly urbanised and densified environment, the demand for land is rising. As greenfield sites become scarce, there is a need to rehabilitate existing sites for new uses. The effective mitigation of potential risks to human health and the environment is also a key performance measure for many businesses. In dealing with the impact of site contamination, we are increasingly focused on sustainable solutions that support long-term human health and environmental values.

As a Graduate, your ability to learn and grow is our number one priority. You will be inducted in a two-year blended graduate program which will enhance your professional, personal and relationship building skills, providing you with a wide range of development opportunities on your journey from graduate to emerging professional and beyond.

This role will suit someone who is able to think critically, ask questions and take responsibility for finding solutions. You will also need to be comfortable engaging with clients and collaborators, partnering with them to understand their needs.

So what does a day in a life of a Graduate look like? This opportunity will give you exposure to a broad range of activities as you start your journey with us. Duties will include:

- Collecting field data (groundwater, soil, vapour) to support contaminated land management assessments
- Managing and interpreting environmental data for inclusion in assessment reports.
- Working collaboratively in small project delivery teams (~5) within a larger group (~50).
- Supervising contractors on sites (e.g. drillers)
