KNOMIS — WE'RE HIRING
Remedial Engineer – Class 2Building Envelope · Façade · Waterproofing · Structural RemediationKnomis 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 roleYou'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 doUndertake 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.
