Are you passionate about construction safety and confident working within Victoria's OHS regulatory framework?
We're looking for a motivated WHS Consultant to join our team delivering construction and infrastructure projects across Victoria.
At Action OHS Consulting, our construction work is grounded in practical site-based risk management.
We work across civil construction and infrastructure projects, supporting clients to meet their obligations under the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act **** and OHS Regulations ****, including Principal Contractor duties, contractor management, and high-risk construction work.
Our focus is practical: helping clients translate legal obligations into safe, workable systems on active construction sites.
You may currently be working as a WHS Advisor, Safety Advisor, HSE professional, or WHS consultant within construction or infrastructure environments and are confident operating in Victoria's regulatory context.
You understand how construction safety works in practice — not just in theory — including how legal duties apply across PCBU arrangements, Principal Contractors, subcontractors, and site-based operations.
You are comfortable working in environments where compliance with WorkSafe Victoria expectations is essential and non-negotiable.
If you hold Lead Auditor credentials, have experience auditing construction projects, understand complex contractor management arrangements, or are confident reviewing construction safety management documentation and critical risk activities, that's fantastic.
However, if you don't tick every box just yet, we'd still love to hear from you.
We're committed to developing our people and providing opportunities to build capability across a broad range of health and safety disciplines.
