OHSE Advisor

About VACC – You're in good hands

Based in Melbourne, the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (VACC) is an automotive industry employer association that protects and promotes the interests of its members through advocacy initiatives and the provision of automotive industry products and services.

Founded in 1918, VACC today provides its members with access to a suite of support measures that assist them in running modern automotive businesses. These includes access to Australia's largest automotive technical library, automotive-specific advice and assistance in human resources, workplace relations, OHS&E regulation training and compliance. VACC also employs more than 500 automotive apprentices through its group apprenticeship scheme facilitating placement with host employers in the industry.

About The Role

The OHSE Advisor is a hands-on multi-faceted role that would ideally suit a recent graduate with 1-2 year's related work experience. As part of VACC's Workplace Relations team, the OHSE Advisor works closely with Senior OHSE Advisor/s and reports to the Executive Manager, Workplace Relations.

The OHSE Advisor is responsible for providing a range of OHS, Workers Compensation and Environmental support to VACC Members. The role offers work diversity through the conducting of compliance audits with support from the Senior OHSE Advisor, developing action plan reports post audits, writing articles for publication and representing VACC at industry committees.

About You

In order to be successful in this role you need to hold a Tertiary qualification, with specialisation in Occupational Health and Safety.

You will also be a strong communicator with excellent analytical and research skills and have a passion for helping people succeed and building relationships through trust and respect.

You'll need to be level-headed, highly organised and enjoy achieving results – and have an active desire to help VACC's primarily small business membership meet their OHSE responsibilities through the provision of timely, practical and accurate advice and assistance.

A current driver's license is essential, as is a preparedness to perform some work outside of hours where required, including overnight regional visits.
