- Lead, coach and guide the project health and safety and supervision team.
- Plan and lead audits, frontline engagements and control verifications.
- Facilitate risk workshops and provide input to construction method statements.
- Lead health and safety innovations and initiatives based on data and key risks.
- Lead incident investigations and reviews.
- Identify and support training activities to build team capability.
- Provide advice and guidance to team on legislative requirements.
- Strong interpersonal skills and ability to engage and influence at project management and frontline.
- Certificate IV in OSH/WHS (Diploma desirable).
- **Demonstrable experience in the Queensland civil sector - DTMR/Transport Project experience preferred**

You may also have the following additional desirable skills:
