About the Company

Our client is a family owned specialist in crane hire, rigging and heavy haulage. They hold ISO certification for quality, environment and safety, and use a live HSEQ reporting system to give the business visibility of safety performance.

The Role

HSEQ Advisor, reporting to the HSEQ Executive, who works from the same site and is in regular contact through the day. Most days start on site at a 7am pre start, with a visit or two before you head to the office mid morning. This is a support role, so much of the work is joint walks and building relationships with the project managers, who rely on you most. It suits someone with backbone and conviction, who can speak up, frame a message so it lands and deal openly with unions, without being abrasive.

- Write and improve SWMS, risk assessments, procedures and checklists
- Deliver toolbox talks, training and safety communications that crews will use
- Take a proactive approach to injury management and return to work, working with workers, managers and treating practitioners
- Maintain the integrated management system, including internal audits and certification activities
- Analyse HSEQ trends and keep across legislative and regulatory change




- Apply working knowledge of enterprise agreements and awards where they touch safety and workforce matters
