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 ****, AS ****, AS ****, AS ****, AS ****, AS ****).
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 **** and Class-2 requirements.
Strong technical report writing; comfortable forming and defending professional 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 qualified registration (CPEng / RPEng / DBP) and specialisation.
