Charles “Eddie” Demko serves as the Chief of Safety and Occupational Health for the Mobile District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. With more than 30 years of experience in the safety field, Eddie has built a career rooted in a genuine concern for the well-being of others—an ethic shaped during his six years of service in the United States Air Force (1985–1991).
While serving, Eddie pursued a degree in Criminal Justice, where he was first introduced to critical safety concepts. That early exposure ignited a lifelong passion for safety, which has only deepened over the decades. He takes great pride in helping others complete their assignments and return home safely to their families each day—a mission that drives every decision he makes.
Since stepping into his current leadership role in February 2024, Eddie has led the Mobile District through major milestones, including the successful completion of Stage Three of the Corps of Engineers Safety and Occupational Health Management System (CESOHMS). Under his leadership, the district now prepares for assessment toward earning the prestigious Army Star status, a testament to the culture of safety he continues to champion.
