At Urban Utilities, we exist to enrich quality of life.

We’re responsible for delivering world-class drinking water and wastewater services to the growing communities of Brisbane, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Somerset and Scenic Rim.

We’re also planning ahead so that we all can live, work, and build around water, now and for decades to come. This brings exciting opportunities to capture, and plenty of complex challenges to get stuck into.

At the heart of everything we do is genuine care: For each other, for our customers and communities, and for the environment. We’re there when our customers need us - whether it’s a simple shower or flush of a toilet, major infrastructure works or new residential developments.

Our head office is in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, but our employees work all over SEQ - including at our SAS Laboratory in Darra, field-based depots in Eagle Farm, Acacia Ridge and Bundamba, and wastewater treatment plants located across our region.

- Follow Urban Utilities HS&W policies, procedures, and mandatory instructions; to identify and mitigate Health and Safety risks in the workplace; instruct the team and stakeholders in health management methods; identify instances of risky behaviours and exposures relating to the business activity.
- Provide direction and specific technical mentoring and advice to an internal Health Contact Officer Network ensuring upskill to provide effective support and outcomes across all Urban Utilities sites, health risks and associated support programs.
- Develop and implement the Health and Wellbeing Program and initiatives to ensure compliance with legislative obligations and delivery of improved health and wellbeing practices and performance.
- Coordinate the Health and Wellbeing governance, consultation and reporting requirements to ensure effective senior management and stakeholder engagement.

**About You**:

- University (First degree) in Health Science or Occupational Health Discipline
- Can provide specialist advice and support in the field of Health and Wellbeing including applied knowledge of Queensland Workers Compensation and Rehabilitation Act.
- Demonstrated experience in an applied Occupational Health role within high-risk
- industries

**Why Work With Us?**

We work in a community, not a company.

We’re ‘all in’ when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, as we strive to reflect the communities we serve. We want our people to feel valued for who they are, celebrated and able to bring their whole self to work.

We know our people don’t just have roles with us - they also have roles within their families, homes and communities. We’re proud to offer several benefits to strengthen these aspects of life such as flexible working options, generous paid parental leave and other extended leave entitlements, study assistance policies and our health and wellbeing reimbursement initiative.
