This full time QHSE Business Partner role is based on site in Western Sydney, inside a high output automated operation where safety performance is expected, not requested. Reporting to the Director QHSE Warehousing APAC and operating independently of site management, you will be the on site safety lead and a trusted advisor to the operations and maintenance leadership team. This is not a transactional safety position.

You will be visible on the floor every day, engaging frontline teams, supervisors, contractors and engineers, supporting risk assessments and task based planning, and stepping in with real time coaching where controls fall short. You will lead site level risk management and incident investigations through to verified corrective actions, keep the site compliant with Australian WHS legislation, support regulator engagement, and report clearly to site and regional stakeholders. A key focus is lifting the capability of frontline leaders to own safety within their own teams.

The role also contributes to the wider APAC warehousing safety program, including policy development, management system improvement and assurance,



with occasional travel across Australia and New Zealand.

- Solid analytical skills, including the ability to interpret data, prepare reports and develop practical risk controls and action plans.
- Experience in management system development, project management and business planning is advantageous.
- Professional certification with the Australian Institute of Health and Safety, a tertiary qualification in business or a related field, and Lead Auditor certification (or willingness to obtain it within six months) are advantageous.
- Must hold full Australian working rights and an unrestricted Australian C class driver’s licence.

Benefits

- High ownership, high visibility position with direct exposure to senior leadership.
- Report to a regional director, independent of site management.
- A seat at the table on strategy as well as site delivery, with the chance to shape safety across the APAC warehousing region.
- Career acceleration inside a global group, backed by stability and investment.
- Hands on exposure to world class automation technology.
- Occasional travel across Australia and New Zealand for variety.
