About you
You bring 10+ years' HSE experience, including 5+ years leading HSE teams across multiple sites, regions or business units, backed by a degree in Work Health and Safety, Environmental Science or a related discipline (or equivalent industry experience). You hold ICAM or Taproot investigation qualifications and Lead Auditor certification (or equivalent), with a track record of building leadership capability within HSE functions and engaging Executive teams, Boards and regulators on strategy, risk and serious incidents. Experience using Procore or similar systems for enterprise-wide HSE reporting is highly regarded.
You have strong knowledge of WHS legislation across multiple jurisdictions and high-risk industries (construction, oil and gas, rail, transmission and distribution, mining, defence, water and infrastructure), with the ability to set strategy and translate it into consistent execution group-wide. You're an executive-level communicator, a strong influencer, and bring sound commercial judgement when balancing HSE risk against cost and schedule pressure. A current driver's licence and willingness to travel regularly across regions is essential.
Experience across multiple states, regions or international operations, a formal leadership qualification, or HSE due diligence experience in M&A or new market entry will set you apart.
