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:

- Onsite EHS Program Implementation & Compliance, which covers the hands‑on management of safety systems and regulatory adherence on the project site, and
- 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 Professional 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.
