  • Proactively reports on and analyses safety performance to identify opportunities for continuous improvement based on analysis of in-field inspections, operational trends, and industry shifts/events.
  • Facilitates Field Leadership and Asset Risk Management Framework Activities (e.g., MOC processes and risk assessments).
  • Provides coaching to develop safety and health management capability of existing leaders and other persons who are attaining their OCE qualification.
  • Facilitates regular opportunities (e.g., pre-start briefings, leadership team meetings) for teams to discuss risk, share lessons learned, and improve risk management or operational practices.
  • Promotes and embeds BHP Values to enable teams to proactively identify and implement safety improvement opportunities.

About You

You will be a performance and achievement-oriented professional, motivated by exceeding expectations, and able to use your relationship-building and influencing skills to deliver results. Your strong desire to work with your team to ensure they are delivering their best will see you well-placed for success.

You will come with an Open Cut Examiner Certificate of competence (QLD), Open Cut Examiners Certificate of Proficiency in Mine Gases and Gas Testing, and a current QLD practicing certificate. You will also have a QLD drivers license and S1, 2, and 3 competencies.

This broad and challenging role will utilize your abilities to work across stakeholders and deliver on competing priorities to achieve improved safety outcomes for the operation. Your ability to work as part of a progressive and dynamic team will see you well-suited to this role.
