With a new CEO recently appointed, Advanced Precast is entering an exciting phase of transformation, and safety is at the heart of it. We're embarking on a significant safety and compliance journey, and we're looking for a passionate National HSEQ Manager to help lead the way.

In addition to your national responsibilities, you'll also take direct ownership of HSEQ for our Victorian operations, acting as the onsite representative at our Dandenong factory while also working strategically from our Mulgrave head office. This dual focus means you'll need to be equally comfortable developing high-level strategy and rolling up your sleeves to support day-to-day operations.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a pivotal leadership role with the opportunity to make a lasting impact.

• Based in Melbourne, you will lead and develop a HSEQ operations team across VIC, NSW & QLD

• Support the strategic rollout of standardised systems and practices across our sites
• Oversee and manage Workcover claims from lodgement through to resolution, liaising with insurers, medical providers, and employees to ensure timely and accurate case management
