HEALTH & SAFETY COORDINATOR - Build the safety foundations of a world-class gold operation

Monday - Friday | Full-time, Permanent | Kilmore & Sunday Creek, VIC Permanent | Health & Safety Team

SXGC is exploring one of the most exciting new gold and antimony discoveries in Australia, with our flagship Sunday Creek project moving from surface exploration towards future underground mining. As we scale up, we're building strong safety foundations and looking for a Health and Safety Coordinator who wants to help shape a proactive safety culture across our employees, contractors and community.

Why SXGC?

Because your work here matters.

You'll join a growing ASX and TSX-listed explorer at a pivotal stage, supporting the safety of our people as Sunday Creek transitions from exploration towards Victoria's next major underground operation. Here, safety isn't a compliance box to tick, it's core to how we operate, and you'll have real input into building the systems and culture that protect our workforce for years to come.

Job Requirements

About the Role

Reporting to the Health and Safety Manager, you will support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of SXGC's health and safety management systems. Working closely with operational leaders, employees and contractors, you'll help promote a proactive safety culture, support compliance with Victorian OHS legislation, and help prevent workplace injuries and incidents. Initially focused on exploration activities and surface infrastructure works, this role will establish strong health and safety foundations across current mining contractors and in preparation for future underground mining operations. The role facilitates, rather than polices safety, partnering with operational leaders, employees and contractors to identify hazards, assess risks and implement practical controls.
