**The Role**
The WHS Assurance Manager is an integral part of a dynamic team that helps to support and influence positive outcomes for naval maintenance. Under guidance from the Commercial Director, the WHS Assurance Manager is accountable under broad direction to perform and achieve complex work health and safety work outcomes within an integrated workforce as well as those included in high value, complex, sensitive naval maintenance delivery contracts. This requires an in-depth knowledge of and compliance with legislative frameworks, government decision-making and Defence’s mission and policy requirements.

The WHS Assurance Manager will be accountable to identify and address work health and safety risks related to the workplace and naval maintenance contracts working alongside ships. They will:

- identify and respond to stakeholders’ needs and expectations related to WHS matters to achieve Regional Maintenance Centre - East (RMC-E), and Defence outcomes.
- provide advice, collaborate and communicate with stakeholders on complex and sensitive work, health and safety issues,
- recommend viable solutions and prevention strategies to address work health and safety issues.

**About our Team**
RMC-E is playing a leading role in implementing Plan Galileo’s ambitious reform program for surface fleet sustainment. Realising this will ensure Defence can support significant increase to the complex fleet of vessels generated through Continuous Naval Shipbuilding. Development of sovereign sustainment capability is key, so Defence has the workforce, systems, tools, supply chains and infrastructure to support the future fleet.

The RMC-E team will oversee several high value naval maintenance contracts working alongside ships, whilst working together to coordinate and schedule maintenance for Navy vessels and to build resilient local and regional supply chains. RMC-E will contribute to the delivery of continuous sustainment to naval capability resulting from sovereign shipbuilding programs and ensure Navy can respond to changing operational requirements.

They must exhibit a desire to be innovative and adaptive. Excellent interpersonal, negotiation and verbal communication skills will be required to regularly liaise and coordinate with a broad range of Commonwealth and Industry stakeholders.

Highly developed written communication skills will be required to review and prepare WHS documentation. We are looking for someone with initiative, strong organisational skills and the ability to respond appropriately to pressures and changing priorities across multiple functional areas.

We are looking for people that can:

- Accurately complete WHS work within timeframe and quality requirements.
- Research and analyse activities to identify and address WHS risks.
- Communicate effectively.
- Work and lead as part of a team.
- Prioritise Effectively.
- Show resilience and flexibility.
