Contribute to the maintenance of internal WHS governance arrangements for HQ 17 Bde and be required to work closely with other staff functions within the HQ to facilitate a ‘compliance culture’.

Given the continual requirement for collaboration on sensitive issues and WHS incident management, this means that the work pattern is office based at Randwick Barracks - Randwick NSW.

You are a key member of the Commander 17 Bde advisory team. 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.
