About BAR Health and Hygiene
BAR Health and Hygiene is a Perth-based occupational hygiene consultancy working across mining, oil & gas and construction throughout Western Australia.
We place experienced hygienists into site-based roles and back them with a technical team behind the scenes.
The Opportunity
We're recruiting an Occupational Hygiene Advisor for a leading Western Australian mining operation.
This is a site-based occupational hygiene role within an established HSET team, reporting to the Senior Advisor - Occupational Hygiene and the HSET Superintendents.
How it works
You're employed by BAR and placed with the client for an initial six months.
At the end of that period there is potential for a permanent position with the client.
If that doesn't eventuate, you come back to the BAR team - you won't be left looking for your next role.
Either way you keep one employer and continuity of employment.
Shortlisting is underway and the start date is as soon as possible for the right person.
The Role
Your work will cover:
Identifying and managing on-site health risks under the site's Health and Hygiene Management Plan

Leading investigations where monitoring results exceed occupational exposure limits
Fit testing for respiratory and hearing protection
Potable water safety monitoring and follow-up of related incident reports

Checking that existing health controls are doing what they're meant to
Working day-to-day with the site's ventilation engineers, environmental scientists and medical team
Liaising with site teams and external stakeholders, including the regulator
The role is eligible for statutory appointment,



so your LGIRS approvals will be put to work, not just sighted at induction.

$120,000 per annum plus perks

A role to come back to with BAR if permanency doesn't eventuate
Statutory-level hygiene work at an established WA mining operation
