About The Role

The Safety Business Partner plays a pivotal role in leading and influencing safety initiatives, building strong relationships, and supporting the ARC (The Australian Reinforcing Company) business to drive positive safety outcomes across multiple locations.

This role is based out of our Hemmant branch and involves travel across the region to connect with our teams and foster a culture of safety.
