We’re looking for a practical and hands-on Health and Safety Advisor to support our leaders and teams across Landpower in Australia and New Zealand. This role is all about making health and safety simple, effective and fit for our business.

About the role

About you

We’re looking for someone who is practical, approachable and confident working alongside operational teams. You’ll be able to build trust quickly, provide advice that is clear and workable, and influence others through strong relationship partnering.

You’ll be organised, resilient and comfortable managing competing priorities across a multi-site environment. Most importantly, you’ll bring a hands-on approach, sound health and safety knowledge, and the ability to turn requirements into practical actions that support our people and our business.

• Experience in a Health and Safety Advisor or similar role, ideally within a multi-site operational environment.
• A relevant health and safety qualification, or equivalent practical experience.
