AKAS Group is looking for an experienced HSEQ & HR Manager to lead safety, workplace, quality and people functions across our two operating businesses.

Lead end-to-end recruitment, including trades,



technical and field-based roles.
Provide Award interpretation and application advice (including the Manufacturing Award and the Electrical, Electronic and Communications Contracting Award ****).

Report on HSEQ and HR performance to the COO, General Managers and the AKAS Leadership Team.
About you
Tertiary qualification in WHS, environmental science, human resources, or equivalent
Sound knowledge of HSEQ management systems, risk management, auditing, incident investigation and emergency management
Working knowledge of ISO *****, ISO ***** and ISO ****
