A Snapshot of Your Day
This is a temporary, two-year position designed to support the Grid Solutions team with onsite works in Australia.
The primary business driver is the need for a dedicated Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Advisor to ensure compliance and safety management for the duration of a specific project.
To address this requirement, the role is structured around two core areas:

Project Safety Integration & Reporting, which focuses on embedding EHS principles within the project lifecycle and communicating with stakeholders.
Given the focus on expert‐level EHS oversight in a complex project setting, the ideal candidate will be a Specialist Qualified with extensive experience in Australian WHS legislation.
They will possess proven skills in risk assessment, incident investigation, and influencing a strong safety culture within project teams.
