This role is well-suited to someone who enjoys partnering with people, engaging with leaders, and building organisational safety capability.

  • Demonstrated experience in WHS coordination, safety compliance, or risk management
  • Strong knowledge of WHS legislation, regulations, and industry best practice
  • Experience in incident investigations, WHS audits, and safety training
  • High-level communication and coaching skills, with the ability to influence and engage at all levels
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capability, with excellent attention to detail
  • A positive, collaborative, and people-focused approach
