As part of your role, you will be responsible for promoting the advancement of safety culture and systems in your National Park, actively managing WHS performance and developing trusted advisor relationships with employees. You may be required to oversee a small team during some projects and will ensure that risks are managed appropriately.
You will be responsible for:

- building WHS leadership and capability within your location and work area, helping to embed WHS functions and activities into daily work to promote positive WHS performance
- upskilling our people on WHS matters, such as identifying, assessing, and controlling risks (both physical and psychosocial) and building understanding of the importance of incident and hazard reporting

- supporting the implementation and review of site-specific risk controls and registers, ensuring that critical risks are documented, and appropriate controls are implemented
- undertaking WHS audit activities as per developed assurance guidelines and processes
- conducting incident investigations (if they should occur), while providing support and advice to Parks staff in accordance with the departments’ WHS policy and procedure, and relevant WHS legislative guidelines
- advocating for the strategic goals of the broader WHS team, supporting the implementation of new WHS initiatives, programs and systems, contributing to planning and identifying opportunities for improvement.
