About the role

At Enerven, safety isn't something that happens from behind a desk. Our WHS Advisors are out where the work happens – alongside construction crews, supervisors and project teams, supporting the secure delivery of some of South Australia's most significant HV electrical maintenance and infrastructure projects. We're looking for a WHS Advisor who understands construction, can talk to a crew as comfortably as they can talk to a Project Manager, and isn't afraid to get involved when they see something that needs attention. With around 70% of your time field-based, you'll work across a diverse range of operational teams and sites, including remote work sites where you'll be the WHS presence on the ground.

- Conducting safety observations, inspections and field audits




- Spending time with crews to understand how work is being performed and whether controls are effective
- Verifying procedures, SWMS and risk controls are being followed in practice
- Providing practical safety coaching and addressing issues as they arise
- Working with supervisors and project leaders to close out safety actions
- Attending pre-starts, toolbox talks and operational safety meetings
- Developing and reviewing SWMS and risk controls as new work and projects get underway
- Supporting incident reporting, investigations and corrective actions
- Conducting vehicle, plant and site safety checks
- Monitoring subcontractor compliance and performance
- Providing WHS input into contract management
- Monitoring safety systems including Enablon and SitePass
- Preparing monthly WHS reporting and project/client updates
- Attending client meetings and representing WHS in operational discussions
- Working alongside the Environment team on environmental matters identified in the field

About you

We're looking for someone who understands what it means to work in a high-risk construction environment and has experience with heavy civils works such as excavation, trenching, working at heights, mobile plant operation and civil construction.



You will also have a good understanding of electrical work environments and the hazards associated with working around HV electrical infrastructure. But what matters most is that you're someone who can walk onto a site, understand the work, earn the crew's respect and have the conversation that needs to be had.

- WHS experience within civil construction, electrical infrastructure, utilities or a similar high-risk environment
- A strong understanding of WHS legislation, codes, standards and safety systems
- Experience conducting safety observations, audits, inspections and risk assessments
- Confidence reviewing and developing SWMS and risk controls
- The ability to coach and influence rather than simply police compliance
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to challenge when required
- The ability to build relationships with everyone from field crews to senior project leaders
- A practical, solutions-focused approach
- The ability to work autonomously across multiple sites and operational teams
- A current driver's licence and the flexibility to travel across South Australia
- A relevant WHS qualification such as a Cert IV or Diploma will be highly regarded
