We’re looking for a motivated safety professional who is ready to build on their existing experience and take the next step into a Junior Safety Advisor role.

About the Role

Working closely with site teams, subcontractors and project leadership, you’ll play an active role in promoting safe work practices and supporting successful project delivery.

You’ll gain valuable exposure to a major infrastructure project, with opportunities to strengthen your technical knowledge, build confidence in your decision-making and develop more senior safety roles.

Key responsibilities include:

- Maintain a visible site presence and provide practical safety guidance to construction teams.
- Identify hazards, assess risks and support the implementation of effective controls.
- Conduct site inspections, audits and inductions, and assist with incident investigations.
- Monitor subcontractor compliance with project HSE requirements, including HSMP and CEMP obligations.
- Contribute to safety reporting, initiatives and continuous improvement across the project
