Job description

SMS Group Services is a proudly WA-owned company delivering scaffolding, rope access, confined space, painting & blasting, and industrial services across major mining, energy, and government projects. With strong growth and new contracts underway, we are looking for an experienced HSEQ Systems Lead to take ownership of our integrated management system.

About the role

Based at our Welshpool head office, you will own the integrated HSEQ management system end to end: from how we define the organisation’s context and risk, through to internal audit, management review and certification. You’ll work closely with top management on policy, objectives and resourcing, and with our site-based HSEQ Field Lead to make sure what the field learns changes the system. It suits someone who wants to build and run a system that reflects how work is actually done, not a paperwork exercise.

Key responsibilities

• Own and maintain the integrated HSEQ management system (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001) and its documents.
• Facilitate context, policy, objectives and planning with top management, and advise them on the commitments and resources the system needs.
• Own the risk management framework: hazard, environmental aspect and quality risk methods and registers, and review of high-risk assessments.
• Maintain the compliance obligations register and evaluate legal compliance.
• Define HSEQ competency and training requirements by role and maintain the training matrix.
• Set operational control standards including hierarchy of controls, management of change, contractor prequalification, supplier quality and emergency preparedness.
• Set and audit quality standards for customer requirements, design, delivery, release and nonconforming outputs.
• Own the incident and complaint reporting system, trend and analyse data, independently review serious investigations and make regulator notifications.
• Plan and deliver a risk-based internal audit programme across every clause and site.
• Administer myosh: configuration, user access, data quality, dashboards and reports.
• Prepare the management review pack and report system performance to top management.
• Own the nonconformance and corrective action process through to verified closure.
• Act as primary contact for regulators, certification bodies and client HSEQ audits, and maintain certification including transitions to revised standards.

What we’re looking for

• Tertiary qualification in OHS, Environmental Science, Quality Management or related field.
• Demonstrated experience owning or maintaining an integrated management system certified to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001.
• Lead Auditor qualification (or working towards it).
• Strong working knowledge of WA WHS legislation and compliance obligations.
• Experience administering an HSEQ software platform; myosh highly regarded.
• Confident writing for and advising senior management, with the judgement to challenge where needed.
• Background in industrial services, construction, mining or energy.
• Valid WA driver’s licence.

Why SMS?

• Genuine ownership of the system, with direct access to the leadership team.
• A dedicated Field Lead on site every day, so you can focus on the system rather than being pulled onto every job.
• Exposure to large-scale mining and industrial projects.
• Strong team culture built on safety, trust, and performance.
• WA-owned business with long-term growth and stability.

This is an opportunity to shape how a growing WA business manages safety, environment and quality, with the backing to do it properly.
