Are you passionate about making workplaces healthier and safer, with a particular interest in occupational hygiene? We’re looking for a motivated WHS Consultant / Occupational Hygienist to join our growing team at Action OHS Consulting.

Occupational hygiene is already an important part of the work we do, and we’re looking for someone who can help us build this capability further.

Our team delivers occupational hygiene work across a range of workplace environments. This has included personal noise exposure monitoring, inhalable and respirable dust monitoring, respirable crystalline silica (RCS) monitoring, workplace exposure assessments and practical recommendations to help clients better manage exposure risks.

You might already be working in occupational hygiene or have experience with noise, dust or workplace exposure monitoring. Or you might be a WHS professional with a genuine interest in developing your technical capability and career in this area.

If you’re a member of the AIOH, have occupational hygiene qualifications, technical training or practical exposure monitoring experience, that’s fantastic. Ideally, you will possess the qualifications and willingness to cover assessments in Victoria, NSW and other locations as required. So a reliable vehicle/the ability to travel is essential.

However, you don’t need to tick every box just yet.

We’re equally interested in someone with strong foundations, technical curiosity and a genuine passion for occupational hygiene. We can support further training, development and qualifications as you build your capability.

- Deliver Small Business Audits as part of the WorkSafe Victoria OHS Essentials Program.

These activities reflect the types of work already undertaken across Action OHS occupational hygiene projects, including noise, inhalable and respirable dust, RCS and personal exposure monitoring.

At Action OHS, we’re all about impact, flexibility and growth. You’ll be part of a team that values your ideas, supports your development and celebrates your success.
