  • Proven leadership of health, hygiene, or safety professionals, with a track record of delivering practical, evidence‑based solutions.
  • Strong analytical and risk assessment skills, with the ability to identify trends and make sound, evidence‑based decisions.
  • In‑depth knowledge of State and Federal safety legislation and standards.
  • Relevant tertiary qualification in Health, Safety, Risk Management, or a related discipline.
