Job description

Opportunity to shape and refine safety audit systems across multiple sites

Collaborative culture with approachable leadership

About the Client

We are partnering with a well-established organisation in the agribusiness and food sector, with operations spanning multiple sites across Australia. Known for their strong commitment to safety, quality, and people-focused values, they foster a collaborative culture where employees are supported, recognised, and rewarded.

About the Role

This newly available position has arisen due to a retirement and offers the opportunity to make a real impact at a critical time of year. Based at head office in Adelaide, the Safety Audit Systems Coordinator will play a pivotal role in developing and refining audit frameworks to support high-risk operations across more than multiple sites.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and building audit tools from the ground up.
• Reviewing completed audits to identify gaps and implement corrective measures.
• Working closely with a network of regional Health & Safety Advisors.
• Analysing audit data using Excel to provide clear and actionable reporting to senior stakeholders.
• Supporting the continued embedding of an established Safety Management System.

The role includes some initial travel to regional sites to gain a deep understanding of operations, before becoming largely head-office based. You will also have one direct report, a shared resource who provides part-time support to the Health & Safety function.

Benefits include a discretionary annual bonus, staff rewards program, a social club, and regular employee events. Flexible working arrangements are also available once established in the role.

About You

We are seeking a self-sufficient professional who understands how to build and implement audit systems that genuinely strengthen safety outcomes. You will bring:

• Strong experience in health & safety auditing within high-risk environments.
• The confidence to design fit-for-purpose audit frameworks and tools.
• Advanced Excel skills for data analysis and reporting.
• Excellent communication skills to influence, guide, and engage stakeholders across all levels.
• The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and thrive during peak operational periods.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a safety professional who is passionate about driving improvements, enjoys both the technical and practical aspects of audit systems, and wants to contribute to a supportive, values-driven culture.
