  • Oversee incident management using systemic investigation methodologies (e.g., ICAM or 5 Whys) to identify system failures.
  • Manage WorkCover claims and Return to Work (RTW) programs with a focus on early intervention and genuine care.
  • Develop a competency-based training matrix that verifies skills for high-risk activities.
  • Develop and own the Environmental Management Plan, driving specific initiatives around waste reduction and energy efficiency.

You Have…

  • Minimum 8+ years of experience in senior safety leadership roles.
  • Proven experience within the Manufacturing or FMCG sectors is essential (Food Manufacturing experience is highly advantageous).
  • Tertiary qualifications in Work Health & Safety (WH&S), Environmental Science, or a related discipline.
  • Extensive and up-to-date knowledge of HS&E legislation, Chain of Responsibility (CoR), and industry best practices.
  • A demonstrated track record of designing and deploying company-wide strategic initiatives that successfully improved safety performance and environmental compliance.
  • Superior written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex safety data into clear, actionable business insights.

You Are…

  • An outstanding leader with the ability to influence operational leaders and drive cultural change without direct authority.
  • Highly analytical, with the ability to interpret metrics, identify systemic root causes, and implement solutions quickly and efficiently.
  • Approachable, energetic, and a visible leader capable of connecting with floor staff as effectively as with the Board.
  • Resilient and capable of managing high-pressure situations (e.g., critical incidents) with composure.

What You'll Get In Return…

  • The chance to have a significant impact in a leading global food technology company.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
