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.
