Leadership Opportunity in WHS&E Transformation

This is a mission-critical appointment for a seasoned leader to drive a new era of safety leadership across the organisation.

The Role:

  • Shape and execute a modern WHS&E strategy across the enterprise - including submarine sustainment and the historic introduction of nuclear-powered submarines.
  • Lead and inspire a capable WHS&E team, with direct reports and oversight of professionals across governance, assurance, safety engineering and environment.
  • Integrate global and local regulations into fit-for-purpose systems that meet evolving technical and regulatory obligations.
  • Serve as a key influencer with regulators, government agencies, customer groups and industry partners.
  • Build a safety-first culture from the shop floor to the boardroom within a unionised, high-stakes and technically complex environment.

Why this role matters:

This isn't just another safety job. It's a rare opportunity to lead a full-scale transformation of safety culture and performance in an organisation central to Australia's strategic defence future. Safety is a cornerstone of success, and your leadership will determine how confidently and competently the organisation meets the challenge of delivering world-class submarine capability.

About You:

You are a seasoned WHS&E professional with:

  • Tertiary qualifications in WHSE or a related discipline.
  • At least 10 years' experience in leadership roles in high-risk industries such as defence, construction, aviation, oil & gas or mining.
  • Demonstrated success engaging with executives, boards and regulators.
  • Proven ability to build, lead and embed best-practice frameworks for safety and environmental performance.
  • A hands-on approach to turning around underperforming safety environments.

Professional certifications, union engagement experience and familiarity with ISO standards will be highly regarded.

Location and Impact:

This position can be based in Adelaide, SA or Perth, WA - both rapidly growing defence hubs. With ASC's multi-billion-dollar programs shaping the region's economy and Australia's sovereign capability, your impact will be national in scope and generational in legacy.
