HSE Advisor

Overview

Alium Works, in partnership with a high-profile international client, is seeking two experienced and resilient Senior HSE Advisors to join a dynamic project delivery team. These roles will work across nationally significant infrastructure, energy, and data centre projects, leading safety outcomes on large-scale, fast-paced construction and commissioning works.

As a key member of the safety leadership team, you will take ownership of developing, implementing, and continuously improving HSE systems, while building strong relationships in a complex stakeholder environment. This role demands technical expertise, resilience, and the ability to influence, lead from the front, and maintain composure under pressure.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver project-specific safety systems and initiatives aligned with Alium Works’ and our customer's HSE frameworks.
• Develop, implement, and maintain the annual OHS Management Plan and project-specific Safety Management Systems.
• Engage and collaborate with contractors, clients, and delivery partners to embed a safety-first culture.
• Conduct risk assessments, incident investigations, and ensure timely close-out of corrective actions.
• Manage high-risk activities and support project teams in identifying and mitigating critical risks.
• Coach and guide site teams to lift safety maturity and improve performance outcomes.
• Maintain compliance with legislative, regulatory, and client-specific safety requirements.
• Prepare and deliver reports to Alium Works and Schneider Electric HSE management teams.
• Maintain a strong site presence, supporting conflict resolution and de-escalation where required.
• Work flexibly across multiple sites, with some interstate travel.

About You

To succeed in this role, you’ll need more than qualifications — you’ll bring tenacity, practical know-how, and the ability to operate in high-pressure environments. You are a solutions-focused operator with a strong safety mindset and proven results in complex infrastructure or construction projects.

Essential Experience & Attributes:

• 5+ years in project-based HSE leadership roles, ideally within infrastructure, rail, energy, or construction.
• Demonstrated experience managing diverse stakeholders including unions, principal contractors, and clients.
• Skilled in conflict resolution and on-site de-escalation.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Ability to work autonomously while staying connected to a broader team.
• Formal WHS qualifications (Diploma or higher) or equivalent industry experience.
• Willingness to travel to project sites, including interstate as required.

What We Offer

• The chance to work on high-impact, future-focused projects alongside industry leaders.
• Direct employment with Alium Works, with the stability of long-term project deployment.
• Ongoing career development and mentoring through a values-led training organisation.
• A critical leadership role shaping how safety is delivered across complex, high-risk environments.
