Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Aurizon Full time $104,000 - $150,000 per year

Location:
Brisbane

About the role:
At Aurizon, we know that human performance is at the heart of safe operations.

We're looking for a passionate and curious professional to join our Safety, Health, Environment and Learning team as a Human Factors Advisor — a role where psychology, data, and real-world safety come together.

You'll play a key role in helping our people perform at their best — bringing human factors science and fatigue management into day-to-day rail operations. Working alongside a team of technical experts, you'll influence how we design work, learn from events, and continuously improve safety across Aurizon.

What you'll be doing

  • Provide specialist advice and support on human factors and fatigue risk management.
  • Partner with operations and safety teams to identify and manage human performance risks.
  • Contribute to the ongoing development and implementation of Aurizon's Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS).
  • Support investigations and learning reviews by providing human factors insights.
  • Drive continuous improvement projects focused on human performance and system safety.

About you

You're someone who loves understanding why people do what they do — and how work can be designed to make it safer, easier, and more effective. You'll bring curiosity, empathy, and a strong technical foundation in human factors, psychology, or safety.

You'll also bring:

  • A tertiary qualification in psychology, human factors, or a related field (mandatory).
  • Experience applying human factors or fatigue risk management principles in transport, aviation, mining, or other safety-critical industries (preferred).
  • The ability to engage and influence across all levels of an organisation.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills, with a knack for simplifying complex concepts.
  • Confidence working independently while collaborating across a national network of safety professionals.

What we offer you:

At Aurizon, we support the development and growth of our employees. With a national portfolio of operations, we offer long-term and exciting career opportunities.

Some of our benefits include:

  • Development and growth opportunities.
  • Access to mentoring and development programs.
  • Discounts on selected health insurance funds, personal travel, gyms, vehicles and retail brands.
  • Parental leave program and super booster.
