About the role

You'll own safety, fleet compliance and HR across the business. Not a slice of it, not one arm of a national system — the whole thing, with the authority to build it the way you think it should work.

Working on other people's sites means our safety paperwork has to be right before our crew walks through the gate. Every builder wants something slightly different, every site has its own hazards, and the SWMS you write is the one a site supervisor will actually read. If you've spent time in a bigger organisation writing procedures that got filtered through three layers before anyone saw them, this is the opposite — you'll write it in the morning and watch a crew use it that week.

It's diverse and you'll switch gears often. That's the appeal for the right person, and we'd rather be upfront that it's the job.

About us

Proficient Siteworks does site cleaning and builders waste removal across South East Queensland. We're on residential, commercial and high-rise sites for builders, running a fleet of 6 trucks and a crew of site cleaners, labourers and drivers out of our Forest Lake depot. Small enough that everyone knows everyone, big enough that the compliance side needs proper attention.

Benefits

- Monday to Friday, 6 am start based at our Forest Lake depot, with site visits

- A proper handover — you're taking this from the owner, not inheriting a mess from someone who left

- A clean slate on systems. If ours don't suit you, change them
