Join a well established national organisation where safety, risk management and operational excellence are receiving significant investment and leadership attention.
This is an opportunity for an experienced safety professional to step into a broad, influential role supporting leaders across a small but multi site operational network.
Working closely with managers and stakeholders, you will help strengthen safety culture, improve risk management capability, drive compliance outcomes and provide practical advice that makes a genuine difference to day to day operations.
This is not a purely systems or compliance role.
You will be equally comfortable engaging with frontline teams, coaching leaders, conducting investigations and audits, analysing trends, and contributing to governance and assurance activities.
What You Will Be Doing
Reporting into a senior operational leader, you will:
Partner with leaders to identify hazards, assess risks and implement effective controls
Lead and support incident investigations, ensuring learnings are embedded across the business
Conduct audits, inspections and assurance activities across multiple sites
Support contractor safety, supplier due diligence and operational compliance
Coordinate safety initiatives, training programs and consultation activities
Monitor performance data and provide clear reporting, insights and recommendations
Support governance,



compliance and risk management obligations
Assist with workplace injury management and return to work coordination
Contribute to safety, risk and continuous improvement initiatives across the organisation
What We Are Looking For
You may currently be working as a WHS Advisor, Safety Specialist or Safety Business Partner and be looking for a broader role where you can influence outcomes beyond compliance.
To be successful, you will bring:
Experience supporting safety within operational, service based, logistics, automotive, industrial, retail, facilities or multi site environments
Strong knowledge of Australian WHS legislation and risk management principles
Experience conducting investigations, audits and risk assessments
The ability to build credibility with leaders and frontline teams alike
Strong reporting, stakeholder engagement and communication skills
A practical, solutions focused approach with the confidence to provide constructive challenge
Why This Opportunity?
Broad role spanning safety, risk, governance and operational improvement
High visibility position with exposure to senior stakeholders
Prospect to influence culture and uplift capability across a national business
Strong leadership support and commitment to safety
Flexible working arrangements
Career development within a respected and growing organisation
