Who You Are

We're looking for a passionate and influential safety leader who thrives in complex operational environments and is driven to create safer, healthier workplaces where people can perform at their best. To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

• Extensive experience leading and shaping WHS strategy across large, complex, multi-site organisations.

• Experience driving wellbeing initiatives, managing psychosocial risk programs, and overseeing workers' compensation frameworks to support holistic employee health and safety.
• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Work Health & Safety, Occupational Health, Risk Management, or a related discipline.

Why You’ll Stand Out
