Who We Are

At REMONDIS, we’re not just one of the world’s largest recycling, service, and water companies—we’re a global, family-owned business turning waste into resources. With over 40,000 employees across four continents, we’ve proudly led sustainability and innovation in Australia since 1982.

We see waste not as rubbish, but as potential. If there’s a way to sustainably divert it from landfill, we’ll find it. Join us in a role where you’ll make a real impact—through projects that shape a cleaner, greener future.

 

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a practical, hands-on Site Engineer to join our team at Swanbank—a key landfill and resource recovery site for REMONDIS. This role offers a rare mix of fieldwork and office-based project coordination (50/50 split), and is ideal for someone with a proactive mindset, strong communication skills, and a willingness to get involved in a wide range of engineering tasks.

You don’t need previous experience in the waste industry, but you do need to be comfortable with the realities of working in an industrial environment—including regular time on a landfill site and collaborating with operations staff on the ground.

  • Develop and implement project solutions alongside our technical and environmental teams
  • Contribute to safety, compliance, and environmental monitoring
  • Assist in the development of new techniques for waste treatment and management
  • Communicate with stakeholders, including contractors, regulatory bodies, and internal teams
  • Balance on-site presence (50%) with office-based planning and reporting (50%)

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Engineering qualification
  • Operations or on-site experience (any industry) preferred
  • Strong communicator with a proactive, problem-solving mindset
  • Attention to detail and strong organisational skills
  • Able to work across multiple projects and stakeholders
  • Valid driver’s licence—must be able to travel to site
  • No waste industry experience required—but you must be comfortable working in a landfill and
  • industrial setting
  • Solid reporting and documentation capabilities
