KNOMIS — WE'RE HIRING

Remedial Engineer – Class 2

Building Envelope · Façade · Waterproofing · Structural Remediation

Knomis is a specialist remedial building engineering consultancy. We diagnose building defects and damage and design the repairs — across strata, insurance, commercial and residential projects. We're growing our engineering team and looking for a capable remedial engineer who wants to own investigations end-to-end.

The role

You'll investigate building defects and damage, determine cause and extent, and prepare engineering reports, repair recommendations and detailed scopes of works — primarily across the building envelope (façade, waterproofing, enclosure) and structure, including Class-2 remedial work.

What you'll do

- Undertake condition assessments and defect diagnosis — concrete spalling and reinforcement corrosion, waterproofing and membrane failure, façade and enclosure defects, structural cracking and movement.
- Design and document remediation — details, specifications and scopes of work to the NCC/BCA and Australian Standards (AS 3600, AS 4654, AS 3740, AS 3700, AS 4100, AS 1684).
- Carry out site inspections and investigations (including invasive testing where required) and produce clear, technically defensible reports.
- Convert findings into a practical, priceable scope of works — quantities, materials, demolition extent, temporary works and access.
- Where insurance / forensic work is involved: establish causation and clearly distinguish event-related damage from pre-existing damage, defects,



workmanship and wear — for insurers, loss adjusters and builders.
- Liaise with owners corporations, insurers, builders, consultants and contractors; support delivery and site reviews.

Your specialisations

We value depth across remediation, building envelope / façade, waterproofing and structural remediation. Forensic / insurance-investigation experience (causation analysis, expert-standard reporting) is highly regarded and a genuine growth path here.

About you — essential

- Degree in Civil and/or Structural Engineering.
- Australian engineering experience, ideally in remedial, structural, building diagnostics or forensic work.
- Working knowledge of the NCC, Australian Standards and NSW building legislation, including the DBP Act 2020 and Class-2 requirements.
- Strong technical report writing; comfortable forming and defending qualified engineering conclusions.
- Site-capable, WHS-aware, Construction White Card; current driver's licence.

Desirable

- On a pathway to (or holding) Chartered status — CPEng / NER / RPEng. We support and fund registration.
- On a pathway to (or holding) NSW DBP Design Practitioner registration — waterproofing / building-enclosure or structural class.
- Experience with strata and insurance-panel remedial projects.

Why Knomis

- A broad remedial portfolio across the whole building envelope and structure — real variety, real ownership.
- Genuine support for professional registration (CPEng / RPEng / DBP) and specialisation.
