We operate heavy vehicles, road trains, mobile plant, workshops, materials handling equipment and mining/civil operations across regional NSW.
n
We're looking for an experienced HSE & Compliance Advisor who wants more than a traditional safety officer position.

This is a hands‐on role with genuine access to senior management and the opportunity to build and improve the systems you are responsible for.

WE WANT AN OPERATOR — NOT A PAPER PUSHER
n
You may be right for this role if you've previously thought:
n
"There has to be a better way of doing this."
n
You understand that a 20-page procedure sitting in a folder doesn't make anyone safer.
n
You know the difference between compliance on paper and compliance in the field.
n
You can walk into a workshop, depot or operational site and have a conversation with a driver, fitter or operator just as comfortably as you can sit down with management and discuss risk.
n
You aren't afraid to challenge unsafe behaviour.
n
You aren't afraid to challenge management when something isn't right.
n




And you don't walk away from a problem until it's fixed.
n
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
n
You'll ideally bring:
n
n
Cert IV WHS or higher
n
Demonstrated experience in HSE/WHS, safety or compliance

n
Excellent communication skills
n
Strong organisational skills
n
The ability to work independently
n
n
More importantly...
n
We're looking for capability, judgement and attitude.
n
You don't need to have spent your career working for a Tier 1 mining company.
n
In fact, experience working in an SME or regional operation may be a significant advantage.
n
We need someone who can walk through the door, understand the business and take ownership.
n
WHY BSL?
n
Genuine autonomy
n
You will have the opportunity to take ownership of the HSE function rather than simply administer someone else's system.
n
Direct access to management
n
You will work closely with senior management and have the opportunity to influence operational decisions.
n
Variety
n
Heavy vehicles. Road trains. Workshops. Mobile plant. Logistics. Mining. Civil operations. Multiple sites.

You'll never be bored.
n
Make a visible difference
n
You'll be able to see the results of your work across the operation.
n
Regional lifestyle
n
Live and work in Broken Hill — one of Australia's most distinctive regional communities — without the constant FIFO/DIDO cycle.
n
THE FIRST 12 MONTHS
n
We aren't expecting you to simply maintain what already exists.
n
Your first 12 months will be about understanding, strengthening and improving the HSE function.
n
We expect you to:
n
First 90 days
n
n
Understand our operations and critical risks
