Our vision is to create connected communities in a sustainable, thriving, and inclusive Queensland, and we're looking for dedicated people to help us deliver it.

We are seeking a committed and proactive Principal WHS & Rail Safety Advisor to support major rail infrastructure  projects under the new rail branch.

This is a hands-on, field-based role that offers the opportunity to provide visible safety leadership, influence culture, and drive rail safety best practices across major construction activities.

  • Deliver Assurance – Support the department's governance through audits, compliance checks, and system reviews.
  • Report with Purpose – Translate real-time site insights into clear reports for senior leadership and continuous improvement.

Essential:

  • Tertiary qualifications in WHS, Business, or a related discipline.
  • Strong understanding of WHS legislation, Rail Safety National Law, and safety standards (AS/ISO).
  • Demonstrated experience with WHS systems and their practical application on infrastructure or rail projects.
