WHS Manager – High-Rise Residential | Waterloo, Sydney

n

$160k + super | Long-term project through to late 2028

n

A leading Sydney high-rise residential builder is looking for an experienced WHS Manager to take ownership of safety on a major development in Waterloo.

n

This is a hands-on, site-based role for someone who's built their career on the tools and the slab — not behind a desk. You'll cover short-term leave across Waterloo and Epping to start, then move permanently onto the Waterloo project for the duration of the build.

n

The project

n

A significant residential development ranging from 6 to 21 levels, programmed through to late 2028. As the site scales, you'll be the person driving consistent safety standards, processes and behaviours across the development.

n

The role

n

Reporting to the Project Manager, you'll own day-to-day WHS across the site. You'll work alongside the existing Safety Officer and coordinate with the broader safety function, including a senior National Safety Manager and an EBA roving Safety Officer.

n
