You will be mentored and guided by an experienced team of WHS specialists as part of the technical WHS chain that reaches into the Headquarters 1st (Australian) Division (HQ 1 (AS) DIV) in Brisbane. You also have peer support from another WHS member fulfilling a similar role at the other Brigades.

Our team is focused on a range of activities to assist all levels of the organisation to:

- Identify and manage risk for their context for the safe execution of work.
- Remove un-necessary administrative, governance and other activities that do not support functional safety.
- Supporting command in the event of a notifiable incident.

Located at Randwick Barracks Sydney, HQ 17 Bde provides a location and environment that is unique in Sydney, with free on-site parking available and public transport to the front gate.
- Knowledge and understanding of Commonwealth and WHS Act and regulations together with a sound knowledge of how interactions with regulators such as COMCARE are progressed.
- Superior people management skills and a demonstrated ability to mentor, lead and motivate within a team of specialists.
- Demonstrated analytical skills and an ability to problem solve and develop practical solutions based on extant WHS policy and procedures.
- Excellent stakeholder management and engagement skills and a sound ability to communicate effectively in writing and verbally.
- Demonstrated experience with IT based WHS reporting and management systems and a willingness to undertake further development and skills acquisition in emerging WHS data analysis and reporting methodologies/tools.
- An appropriate WHS qualification is desirable unless relevant job experience in a WHS role can be demonstrated. Preferably a Graduate Diploma or Certificate in WHS but as a minimum, a Certificate 3 in WHS management.
