An opportunity exists for a proactive and energetic Health & Safety Business Partner to join our national Health and Safety team, supporting our NSW Southern Region Concrete and Quarries business.

Reporting to a Business Unit General Manager and Head of Business Partnering Health and Safety, your primary focus is to support our Southern Region NSW Concrete and Quarries Business ensuring that business unit level issues are understood, controls are implemented and compliance and assurance measures reviewed.

  6. Facilitate the implementation of the HSEQ Management System & National Programs.
  7. Ensure completion of Assurance Audits and monitor the closure of WHS actions.

What Are We Looking For?

  1. A positive, proactive attitude and a commitment to partnering with operational teams.
  2. Proven experience in a similar role, with strong incident investigation skills.
  3. Experience in high-risk environments, ideally within a quarry setting.
  4. Experience in implementing organizational change within complex environments.
  5. Knowledge of WHS regulations, systems, and processes.
  6. Cert IV or Diploma in Work Health & Safety.
  7. Excellent interpersonal, emotional intelligence, and communication skills with the ability to build relationships.

What's on Offer?

  1. Motor vehicle allowance.
  2. Permanent, full-time position.
  3. Access to support networks including the Boral Employee Assistance Program.
  4. Work for a values-driven business that values success and teamwork.
  5. Contribute to an industry committed to sustainable outcomes and Zero Harm.
  6. Be part of an Australian-owned and operated company.
  7. Opportunity to purchase additional leave.
  8. Generous paid parental leave entitlements.
