The Company
Our client is a well‑established commercial organisation with a strong reputation for operational excellence, safety, and professionalism.

The Role
Our client is seeking a proactive and highly organised Senior Administrator – Corporate Governance to support the coordination, maintenance, and ongoing improvement of their Work Health & Safety (WHS) and risk management frameworks.

You will work closely with operational teams, Human Resources, and senior leadership to drive follow‑up actions, maintain compliance visibility, and strengthen safety and risk practices in day‑to‑day operations.

• Assisting operational teams to integrate risk management into daily decision‑making and processes
• Coordinating Risk Management Committee meetings, including agendas, papers, and minutes
• Tracking and following up actions arising from WHS and risk forums to ensure timely completion
• Supporting WHS Q&A sessions and documenting outcomes with operational teams and consultants
• Supporting senior leadership (CEO, CFO, Group Finance Manager) with corporate governance activities as required
• Providing reception relief support on a rotating or ad hoc basis when required

This is a varied and influential role suited to someone who enjoys structure, coordination, and working across multiple stakeholders in a fast‑paced environment.

• Experience in a senior administration, WHS support, risk coordination, or corporate governance role
• Sound understanding of WHS and/or risk management principles and governance processes
