Put your safety expertise where it makes a difference.

Safety is not a document sitting in a folder. It is how work is planned, how risks are controlled and how people make decisions on site.

At SWI Fencing, we deliver high-security fencing solutions across construction, infrastructure, government and critical infrastructure projects throughout Australia. We’re looking for a hands-on HSE Advisor who can work with our project teams to turn safety requirements into practical outcomes.

This is a genuine opportunity for an experienced safety professional who enjoys solving problems, investigating incidents, improving systems and influencing the way work is carried out.

Working three days per week, you’ll support managers across our operations, manage our SiteMate safety system and help strengthen our HSE management framework.

We need someone who can work independently, prioritise what matters and make a real contribution within a part-time schedule.
