Job description

At DEMEX, we’ve earned global recognition for the delivery of high-profile, high-complexity demolition, remediation, decommissioning and resource recovery works on major commercial and industrial projects across the energy, resources, government, infrastructure and marine sectors. We're looking for an up-and-coming Site Engineer ready to take real ownership, sharpen their technical edge, and grow into the next stage of their career.

About the role

As a Site Engineer, you'll be a key technical resource on site — working alongside Project Managers, Supervisors and subcontractors to develop the engineering methodologies, work packs and quality assurance that keep our projects safe, compliant and moving.

It's a role with real responsibility and real support, the kind of position where an engineer a few years into their career can step up, take ownership, and build serious momentum.

You'll bring solid engineering judgement, a problem-solving mindset and clear communication to help our operational teams deliver works to spec, on program and to standard.

What you'll be doing

Create safe & healthy workplaces: champion HSEQ and embed safety and environmental controls into every methodology.

Provide technical guidance: guide site teams, develop demolition and construction methodologies, sequences and staging plans, and interpret drawings, specs and contract documents.

Plan the work: build and maintain work packs, coordinate permits, drawings, risk assessments and resources, and pressure-test constructability before boots hit the ground.

Own quality & compliance: manage ITPs, inspections and engineering records, and ensure works meet specifications, standards and contractual requirements with minimal rework and NCRs.

Manage technical risk: identify demolition, decommissioning and operational risks early, develop engineering controls, and elevate what matters.

Coordinate on site: tomonitor progress, remove engineering constraints, and support efficient use of labour, plant and equipment.

Support handover & improvement: compile close-out documentation, contribute to lessons-learned, and share best practice across the team.

What you'll bring

Bachelor of Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Construction or related discipline).

2 - 3 years' engineering experience across demolition, remediation, industrial, commercial construction, mining or related projects.

Experience in engineering planning, methodology development and work package preparation.

A growing understanding of construction sequencing, demolition methodologies and technical risk management.

Solid grasp of QA systems, engineering compliance and project documentation.

Willingness to travel locally and regionally on occasion (some early starts of 6.30am), getting close to major projects and key stakeholders whilst identifying areas where you can add measurable value.

Current White Card and Driver's Licence.

Nice to have- exposure to major demolition, remediation or industrial projects is advantageous - project scheduling software - contract and delivery framework know-how.

Why DEMEX

We're built on five values; Commit Fully, Bring Your Passion, Embrace Challenge, Keep Growing, Collaborate & Connect and we hire people who live them.

You'll join a nationally accredited, ISO-certified business where safety and quality genuinely lead, take on work that stretches you, and get real backing to grow All based out of Yatala, with the opportunity to travel from time to time.
