Deswik was founded on friendship, technical excellence, and a drive to be the best at what we do. We're a dedicated and friendly team of mining professionals and software developers who all share one goal: empowering our customers to deliver measurable value through technology.
We strive to create a workplace that is both casual and professional, where everyone feels valued and motivated to reach their full potential. Regardless of our departments, we all pitch in and leverage each other’s strengths to get the job done well.
Our goal is to help our employees thrive personally and professionally. That's why we've created a workplace environment that supports a healthy balance between work and life.
We provide workplace flexibility and encourage a work-life balance. Lunchtime exercise is always an option with end-of-trip facilities, standing desks, and fresh fruit.
Your physical and emotional health comes first. We offer professional counseling services to all our employees and their immediate family should they need support.
We have a global peer-to-peer rewards and recognition program to commend our colleagues' performance. We also provide an annual bonus and employee referral bonus scheme.
We don't believe in micromanagement or red-tape. Instead, we have an open-door management style based on trust. We hire smart people and treat them like adults.
We like to keep our workplace energized and lively with a social event sprinkled here and there. A light-hearted workplace leads to happier people.
Our company is run by highly technical people who 'get it'. We work on challenging projects to solve complex problems in the industry.

I feel fortunate to work at Deswik. I've had ample opportunities to work on interesting projects, advance my career goals, and collaborate with a highly supportive and brilliant team.
There's always room for me to learn, and every day I get a chance to tackle client-led work with real impact. I feel very excited about my future with Deswik.
Working at Deswik is like boarding a warm bus on a cold night with a bunch of friends. On our best days, we solve problems, trust each other, leave egos at the door, and treat each other and our clients the way we want to be treated.
Working at Deswik is fast-paced, professional and fun all at the same time. It's being surrounded by like-minded, smart and highly competent engineers and technologists.
I've seen so much more of the mining industry and how Deswik adds value. It's great to work with a talented team of problem solvers.
Deswik has all the traits of a casual work environment but with a very strong work ethic where the focus is on high performance and delivering to the customer.
I thrive on learning and improving, and at Deswik I get both. With the support of international experts, and access to the latest software, I’ve significantly improved the value I add to clients.
Our culture code was developed with everyone's input across all departments and offices, shaping who we are, what we stand for, and how we operate. It’s what drives our daily activities and inspires us to do more.
A little trust (and autonomy) goes a long way. We operate with honesty and hold ourselves accountable for delivering on our promises.
We're driven to make things better with every iteration. We aim high, take pride in our work, and never shy away from challenges.
We're responsive and follow up our words with actions. We take a long-term view with our customers even if it won’t benefit us in the short run.
Great things happen outside the comfort zone. We encourage each other to think outside the box, speak our minds, and work together to discover new approaches.
Whether it's work or life, having friendships makes everything easier when the pressure is on. We all pitch in to help one another, and celebrate together when the job is done.
Change is constant, but we see dynamic conditions as opportunities. We're always open to new ideas and ways of working.
We're one big team pulling in the same direction. Everyone wants to feel valued, so we celebrate our shared successes as well as individual achievements.
Like what we stand for? Join our team and make our culture your own.
As Deswik grows, so too do our opportunities. We encourage our employees to explore new roles that align with their interests to advance both vertically and laterally within the organization. This approach helps us retain talent and cultivate a dynamic work environment with rich new challenges and opportunities.
In the spirit of Christmas giving, our Brisbane team supported local charities—Share the Dignity, Micah Projects, and Northside Connect—to brighten the holiday season for vulnerable Australians, assembling 324 care packages valued at approximately $7,700.
With mental health and wellbeing remaining a key issue in our everyday lives, particularly for men, our global teams all pitched in to raise $1,932 for Movember to de-stigmatize men’s health issues and encourage open conversations.
Our Brisbane and Perth teams participated in the 2024 Push-Up Challenge, 'pushing' for better mental health for all Australians. In an outstanding effort, we completed a total of 93,913 push-ups and raised $15,429 – the 9th highest fundraising team in Australia!
Our Johannesburg office participates in annual blanket drives to support struggling communities during the colder months. These efforts extend beyond just the homeless; last year, we donated pet food alongside blankets to bring warmth and comfort to the country’s furry friends in need.
Our North American offices hold annual ‘Saturdays of Service’ to give back to the community in various ways. This year, our teams have educated children on the history of mining, served meals at food banks, helped plant trees, and participated in garbage cleanups.
For the past four years, our Canadian offices have helped sponsor the Canadian Mining Games. In addition to hosting an event, we have provided over 150 students from 11 universities with free software licenses and training to help them prepare for the competition.
Despite being spread across the globe, our culture connects us all. Regardless of our location, we share the same values, passion, and commitment to excellence.
