To do this effectively, you'll need to lead the design and execution of site-specific Health, Safety & Environment plans in alignment with national strategy.

  • Lead meaningful incident investigations and risk assessments that result in real impact.
  • Deliver engaging, practical training and drive safety awareness at every level across sites.
  • Monitor, analyse, and report on HSE performance, turning data into action.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to site leaders, influencing and coaching to build visible HSE leadership.
  • Support workers' compensation and injury management with a focus on early intervention and a human-first approach.

About You:

  • You should have proven experience in a similar HSE leadership role within a manufacturing environment.
  • You should have a strong operational understanding of safety and environmental management, with a proactive, collaborative approach to building relationships across all levels.
  • You should be a skilled communicator and natural influencer, able to engage, inspire, and take people on the journey.
  • You should have in-depth knowledge of relevant HSE legislation, regulations, and standards.
  • You should be a confident coach and mentor, passionate about uplifting capability across operational teams.
