About the Role

As our Health and Safety Lead, you'll play a pivotal role in evolving and enhancing our WHS and Injury Management frameworks across Australia and New Zealand. This is a strategic position focused on developing systems, tools, and processes that not only meet compliance requirements but also foster a culture of safety ownership and behavioural excellence.

  • Define standards for hazard and risk management, especially for complex, high-risk issues.
  • Collaborate across teams to mature our safety culture and improve workplace performance.
  • Coach and mentor leaders to build H&S capability and embed safety leadership.
  • Lead injury management, Workcover, and self-insurance compliance requirements.
  • Deliver robust assurance and reporting to meet due diligence obligations.

What You'll Bring

  • Tertiary qualifications in WHS or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 5 years' experience in a senior WHS/IM systems role specialising in self-insurance.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.
  • Experience with behavioural-based safety and critical risk/control programs.
  • Up-to-date knowledge of H&S legislation and self-insurance frameworks.
  • A collaborative mindset and commitment to continuous improvement.

Why Join Us?

At Detmold Group, we're committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and high-performing workplace. You'll be part of a team that values innovation, supports professional growth, and makes a meaningful impact across our global operations.
