About the Role

Reporting to the Manufacturing Manager, this position plays a critical role in strengthening and embedding a proactive, people-first safety culture within our Luscombe manufacturing facility. You'll work closely with operational leaders, providing both strategic and hands-on HSEQ support, while driving improvements in safety performance, compliance, and team engagement.

This role will directly support the uplift of safety leadership capability across the site and will suit a confident self-starter who can work autonomously and drive improvement initiatives in consultation with the National HR & HSEQ Manager. Key focus areas include managing critical risks such as people-plant interaction, working at heights, and interface risks in a dynamic and busy manufacturing environment.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced HSEQ professional with a strong background in manufacturing, and a solid understanding of Critical Risk Management, Chain of Responsibility (CoR), and ISO frameworks.

• Build strong partnerships with supervisors, team leaders, and workers to coach and influence safety behaviour and decision-making.
• Lead and support investigations into incidents and hazards, ensuring root causes are identified and lessons are shared.
• Champion continuous improvement in safety systems, processes, and reporting tools.
• Monitor risk controls and support Critical Risk Verification programs.
• Ensure compliance with Chain of Responsibility obligations and promote a shared accountability model.
• Deliver engaging training, toolbox talks, and support safety meetings.
• Collaborate with national HSEQ and operational teams to deliver consistent, high-impact outcomes.
• Manage and submit monthly HSEQ reports, ensuring documentation is timely, accurate, and aligned with business requirements.
• Support the management of Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and associated documentation for both ATCO employees and on‑site contractors.
• Conduct thorough and engaging HSEQ inductions for all new starters, embedding a strong safety‑first mindset from day one.

What You’ll Bring

• Certificate IV in WHS (minimum); relevant tertiary qualifications highly regarded.
• Demonstrated experience in a similar HSEQ Advisor or Business Partner role within a manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of WHS legislation, risk management, and incident investigation frameworks.
• Knowledge of Chain of Responsibility, critical risk controls, and ISO standards.
• Excellent communication and coaching skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Proficiency in Microsoft365 and cloud-based reporting platforms (e.g., Donesafe).
• A current Driver's Licence and White Card.
