  • Investigating all causes of events on site and recommending actions to prevent future occurrences.
  • Providing specialist support to internal stakeholders, including operational leaders, project employees, contractors, clients, and visitors.
  • Ensuring the project understands and meets its regulatory and legal safety obligations.
  • Maintaining comprehensive safety records, managing statutory reporting requirements, and monitoring safety performance progress.
  • Maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of relevant legal, regulatory, and company safety requirements, ensuring workplaces are informed of relevant changes.
About You

We're looking for a highly skilled and experienced professional with:

  • Advanced Diploma in Safety in Occupational Health and Safety or equivalent.
  • Safety Lead Auditor Qualification.
  • Construction Tier 1 experience (5+ years).
  • Audit management practices (2-3 years).
  • Quantitative and qualitative risk assessment and monitoring of risk controls and actions involved in delivery and implementation of projects.
  • Knowledge of Safety legislation and statutes (especially those relating to Comcare), and ability to interpret any applicable statutes or legislation relevant to the project.
  • Knowledge of Environmental legislation and statutes, and ability to interpret any applicable statutes or legislation relevant to the project.
What's in it for you

We're committed to being an employer of choice, offering a range of benefits that support your career and wellbeing. These include:

  • Competitive remuneration with salary continuance and salary sacrifice options.
  • Great leave benefits, including 18 weeks paid parental leave with super and up to an extra 18 weeks of super paid on further periods of unpaid parental leave.
  • Career progression opportunities, underpinned by our exciting pipeline of work.
  • Learning and development opportunities, including emerging talent programs, technical and leadership training, and development opportunities.
  • Inclusion, diversity, and equity are part of how we work. We want everyone at John Holland to feel they belong – that's why we're working hard every day to foster a more inclusive culture.
