Job responsibilities:

• Coordinate and implement Synergy’s HSE assurance program, monitor performance and support the delivery of assurance activities.
• Support maintaining and continuously improving the integrated HSE management system to meet legal, corporate and industry requirements.
• Monitor legislative and regulatory changes and support the timely update of HSE systems, processes and documentation to manage compliance obligations.
• Contribute to benchmarking and identifying opportunities to strengthen HSE governance, assurance and continuous improvement.
• Provide responsive support to the HSE Governance and Assurance team and contribute to other priorities and objectives as required.

What you will bring:

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in HSE or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively and build productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail and current knowledge of relevant Western Australian HSE legislation and regulatory requirements.
• Working experience conducting HSE assurance and compliance activities (i.e. auditing and reporting).
