About The Role

This role provides hands-on experience and structured development in a large-scale, fast-paced project environment. Reporting to the Project HSE Manager, the Graduate HSE Advisor will be given the training, mentorship, and guidance needed to build foundational skills in safety management, risk assessment, incident investigation, and compliance monitoring.

While prior FIFO/DIDO experience is not required, working in a remote environment comes with unique challenges, and adaptability to site conditions is essential. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with experienced safety professionals, field supervision, and operational teams to gain practical exposure to all aspects of HSE.

Key Responsibilities And Learning Opportunities Include

• Learning and applying project HSE policies, procedures, and risk management processes under the guidance of senior team members.
• Assisting in site inspections, hazard identification, and safety audits to develop an understanding of compliance requirements.
• Supporting the incident reporting and investigation process, including data collection, documentation, and learning review participation.
• Helping to prepare and deliver pre-start meetings, toolbox talks, and safety briefings alongside senior personnel.
• Observing and supporting risk assessments, Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), and Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS).
• Assisting with administrative tasks related to safety management systems, including document control, maintaining compliance records, and data entry into INX or other safety systems.
• Developing a strong understanding of HSE reporting processes, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in data submission.
• Learning how to manage subcontractor compliance documentation and supporting verification of their safety performance.
• Participating in mentorship and training programs to build technical knowledge and confidence in safety advisory responsibilities.
• Supporting the return-to-work and injury management process, under supervision.
• Developing communication skills to engage with personnel at all levels and foster a strong safety culture.
• Seeking guidance when needed and demonstrating a proactive, problem-solving mindset when tackling new challenges.

A key part of developing as an HSE professional involves understanding the administrative and compliance aspects of safety, as well as actively engaging in fieldwork. This role will provide exposure to both areas, ensuring a well-rounded foundation in HSE.
