Finished your OHS degree or nearly there and sick of hearing "you need experience to get experience"?Same. So let's fix that.
I'm Katrina from SafeAssure. We're a Brisbane WHS consultancy and safety is what we do. I'm looking for a Safety Graduate to join an established, family-owned Queensland civil contractor that builds roads and infrastructure across the state.
This isn't a desk job with a hard hat hanging on the door. You'll split your time between head office in Brisbane, learning the systems side from an experienced in-house safety and systems team and live civil sites.
That starts with a major road project on the Sunshine Coast, plus other projects around South East Queensland and the odd regional trip.
There's plenty of admin and plenty of learning. But you'll get real responsibility early with people around you who want you to get positive at this.
What a week could look like
- Walking site with supervisors on inspections, audits and safety observations
- Helping prepare and review SWMS, risk assessments and work packs
- Supporting incident reports, investigations and corrective actions
- Running toolbox talks and helping with site inductions
- Turning safety data into reporting people actually read
- Helping roll out Critical Risk Management standards on site
This is for you if
- You are a go getter with drive and passion for civil construction, happy on site and travelling.
- You have a bachelor degree in Occupational Health and Safety or you'll finish within the next 6 months
- You hold a current driver licence
- You live in Brisbane and you're happy to travel to sites around SEQ
- You're solid on Microsoft Office
- You'd rather be on site asking questions than hiding behind a screen
- Civil construction genuinely interests you
No White Card yet? That's fine, they'll help you get one.
Got a Diploma instead plus real years on construction or civil sites? Don't scroll past. Apply and tell me about your time on site.
What's in it for you
- Permanent, full time with a structured development pathway
- Mentoring from experienced safety and systems people with ISO 45001 certified systems
- Salary reviews twice a year and an end of year bonus scheme
- Paid parental leave, bonus annual leave days and a weekly wellness reimbursement
- Free NAWIC membership
The successful person will complete a pre-employment medical and police check, and you'll need full Australian work rights.
