The company

This is a global industrial products manufacturer that supplies into the consumer and commercial markets with a large site network across the APAC region - their products are solid performers in their category and they are positioned to grow. Safety is a key focus with strong support from the executive - although they have not experienced serious safety issues, there is a lot of room for improvement and a significant sustained step change is being sought both in their systems and in fostering a proactive and preventive culture. This is an opportunity to drive real change, not just to sustain the status quo or to simply comply.

The role

You'll be the driving force behind safety transformation across their diverse manufacturing and distribution site network. This role is an influencing role working up, down, and across the structure - you won't initially manage a team, but the long term vision is for the influence of this role to grow with you. Being that this role is autonomous, you'll be adept at balancing planning and strategy with execution and delivery, while maintaining responsiveness to issues as they arise. You'll work shoulder to shoulder with operations leaders across the business, just as you'll influence shop floor, and engage with global executives to ensure that your plan is achieved, sustained and improved.





About you

- Tertiary qualification(s) related to WHS
- Certifications such as Lead Auditor
- Experience in industrial manufacturing
- Experience with a multi-site remit
- Well rounded skillset understanding theory, practical, and commercial

Why apply?

If you want to truly drive change and to have ownership of safety transformation, this role is for you. This might mean you're stepping up to a National remit for the first time which is a great opportunity in and of itself to elevate to a new class of role, or it could mean that you're established at this level and tired of compliance focused environments and tinkering around the edges. This role is exposed to global executive, works closely with local executive, and has a large site network to operate across - you will have access and support.
