About you

You’re a practical, experienced safety leader who enjoys being close to operations and working through problems with people. You can think strategically, but you’re equally comfortable getting into the detail when it matters.



You build trusted relationships, influence with credibility and know when to coach, challenge or hold a clear position. Importantly, you’re comfortable working with autonomy, using your judgement to focus your time where you can make the greatest difference.

What you’ll bring

- Significant safety experience in a large, complex operational environment
- Relevant qualifications in WH&S; or a related discipline
- Strong knowledge of risk management, WH&S; legislation and safety management systems
