About Big River Group

Big River Group is a publicly listed Australian company with over 120 years of heritage in the timber and building materials sector. With a strong national and international footprint, we are recognised for quality, innovation, and customer service across the construction, civil, and building industries.

Your Role

As the Regional Health & Safety Lead, you will take ownership of WHS strategy and leadership across our VIC & SA branches. This role will be based at our Melbourne (VIC) office, with regular travel across Victoria, South Australia, and other states as required. This is a multi-site, high-impact role accountable for embedding Zero Harm as a business priority, not just a compliance obligation.

You will:

  • Translate Group WHS strategy into clear regional objectives and site-level action plans.
  • Conduct audits, inspections, and governance reviews, ensuring compliance with WHS legislation and ISO standards.
  • Lead investigations into incidents using ICAM (or equivalent) methodologies and manage regulator engagement.
  • Oversee workplace injury response, workers' compensation, and return-to-work outcomes.
  • Coach and mentor managers to build WHS capability and accountability.
  • Analyse safety performance data, identify trends, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Act as a visible leader across sites, engaging directly with frontline teams.

This role will be based at one of our regional offices (Somerton, VIC or Dry Creek, SA), with regular travel across the region.

What You'll Need

  • Certificate IV or Diploma in Work Health & Safety (minimum).
  • Current First Aid and accredited Return-to-Work Coordinator certification.
  • Minimum 7 years' WHS leadership experience across multi-site, high-risk industries.
  • Strong knowledge of WHS legislation, codes of practice, and risk management frameworks.
  • Proven ability to influence senior leaders, managers, and frontline employees.
  • Analytical and data-driven, with a pragmatic approach to problem solving.

What You'll Receive in Return

  • Strategic leadership remit across a multi-site regional portfolio.
  • Competitive salary package with performance incentives.
  • Exposure to executive leadership and direct impact on business outcomes.
  • Career progression and professional development in a publicly listed organisation.
  • Free onsite parking at major branches.
  • A progressive, people-focused culture where safety is at the centre of everything we do.
