The Position

At CEA Technologies, safety isn’t just a compliance requirement – it’s a core value. We’re looking for a Senior Internal Auditor who’s passionate about Work Health, Safety, and Environment (WHSE) and thrives on making a real difference to people, processes, and culture.

This role is more than ticking boxes. You’ll be our in-house trusted advisor for WHSE, and change agent – someone who can connect with people across all levels of the business, uncover what’s really happening on the ground, and help turn insights into lasting improvements.

Key Responsibilities

- Plan, conduct, and report on WHSE internal audits across our operations

- Test compliance with WHSE policies, procedures, and relevant legislation
- Identify practical, achievable improvements – not just “paper fixes”
- Track and verify the close-out of corrective actions




- Provide advice that’s backed by evidence, experience, and a collaborative approach

What you’ll bring:

- Auditing experience in WHSE (ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 familiarity an advantage)
- A curious mindset with the courage to ask questions and the empathy to listen
- Strong knowledge of WHS legislation and best practice safety systems
- Excellent communication skills – you can write clear reports and hold constructive conversations
- The ability to balance independence with being a trusted business partner

Why you’ll love it here:

Work in a company where safety is backed by action, not just words

Collaborate with passionate professionals in engineering, manufacturing, and corporate teams
