Job description

Here at Linfox, you’ll join a company that’s focussed on evolving the supply chains of today to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

We’re one of Australia and New Zealand’s largest privately owned logistics providers, proudly delivering the essentials that communities and industries rely on every day.

And we’re building a safer, secure, efficient and more sustainable future for our industry, one that’s powered by people, technology and smarter ways of working.

At Linfox, together anything’s possible.

Looking after the safety, health and wellbeing of our people is central to how we do business. We recognise that care, trust and inclusion are the foundations for building a strong team based culture.

In the last few years, our approach to safety, health and wellbeing (SH&W) has evolved. Quite simply, we are taking a more targeted approach for identifying, assessing and solving physical and mental risks.

To do this, we are involving our people in both the conversation and solution. Talking and listening to our team helps us gain a deeper understanding about how work is really done and opens the door to having honest conversations about what we can do to make work better, easier and safer for everyone.

Through this evolution we are uncovering risks, solving problems, and innovating how we work.

What does the job look like?

An exciting opportunity exists for a Safety and Compliance Specialist based at Erskine Park, supporting a large-scale national network. You’ll work closely with operational teams, contractors and the customer to support safe and compliant operations across multiple sites. You’ll be involved in incident investigations, risk assessments, audits and continuous improvement initiatives. This hands-on role will see you build strong relationships and provide practical safety support across the operation.

Key Accountabilities

• Lead incident investigations and implement sustainable corrective actions
• Conduct audits, site inspections and compliance reviews across multiple locations
• Analyse safety and compliance performance to identify trends and risks
• Provide advice on safety, compliance and risk management practices
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to strengthen safety outcomes
• Build strong relationships with operational teams and customer stakeholders

Are you the one?

You are a practical safety professional who thrives in operational environments and enjoys partnering with leaders to drive positive safety and compliance outcomes. You can demonstrate:

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a similar safety role
• Experience within supply chain, logistics or similar environments highly regarded
• Experience working with contractors or contractor-based workforces highly desirable
• Certificate IV in Work Health & Safety as a minimum, with higher qualifications highly regarded
• Experience with audits, incident investigations and risk assessments
• Strong communication, influencing and stakeholder engagement skill

What's in it for me?

• 12 weeks paid parental leave and return to work bonus for eligible employees
• Career development opportunities and mentoring programs
• Access to a range of benefits across dining and adventure, travel and health and well-being
• The chance to work in a high-performing team where your contributions truly make an impact

At Linfox, we focus on providing an inclusive and diverse workplace where our people can perform at their best.
