• Mining experience is advantageous, but not essential.
• Candidates from heavy industry, manufacturing, infrastructure, construction, energy or similar environments will be considered.
• Certificate IV in Work Health & Safety, or equivalent relevant qualification or background.
• Comfortable across both health/hygiene and broader safety responsibilities.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Collaborative, motivated and team focused.
• Australian permanent residency or citizenship is required.

• Lifestyle Balance: Monday to Friday, typically around 7:00am-4:00pm, with generally earlier Friday finishes.
