• Identifying critical risks and helping ensure effective, practical controls are in place
• Supporting machinery safety, contractor management and environmental compliance
• Coordinating HSE training, employee participation and the Site Health & Safety Committee

• Clear communication, sound judgement and strong attention to detail
• A collaborative, solutions-focused approach and genuine commitment to continuous improvement

You'll be approachable and adaptable, comfortable moving between the shop floor and leadership conversations, and motivated by helping people take genuine ownership of safety.

What's in it for you?

There's plenty on offer beyond the role itself:

• Permanent, full-time employment
• Regular remuneration reviews and staff discounts
• Discounted Southern Cross health insurance
• Free onsite parking and annual flu vaccinations
