HAYLO People is working with a well-established business servicing the transport, logistics, and freight forwarding sectors across Australia and New Zealand. With a workforce of over 200 employees at any given time, the company operates across multiple states, providing essential workforce solutions to major clients such as Qantas, Swissport, Menzies, and DHL.
 
The Opportunity:
 
This is an exciting opportunity for an up-and-coming WHS professional who is looking to step into a leadership role within operations. Initially designed as an Officer position, the company is now seeking someone with strong auditing experience, transport industry expertise, and hands-on safety leadership skills to drive compliance, refine processes, and build engagement across multiple sites.
 
The Role:

• Lead the delivery and ongoing development of the Health, Safety & Compliance framework across operations.
• Conduct audits across client sites, depots, and branches, ensuring compliance with WHS legislation.
• Work closely with branch managers, providing support on incident management, compliance, licensing, and training.
• Refine and embed the existing Safety Management System (SMS), including policy and procedure development.
• Oversee the Incident Management System (Lucidity) and drive improvements.
• Support injury management, return-to-work (RTW) programs, and workers’ compensation processes.
• Engage with subcontractors, HR, and drivers, fostering a strong safety culture.
• Work autonomously while collaborating closely with Sarah, a highly experienced operations and training professional, for mentorship and support.

• WHS qualifications (Cert IV or higher).
• Experience in the heavy vehicle, transport, or logistics industries (mandatory).
• Strong background in auditing, compliance, and incident management.
• Hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude—this is not a desk-only role.
• Ability to engage with workforce teams on-site and communicate effectively with drivers and operational staff.
• Exposure to policy and procedure development.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to work autonomously while also contributing to long-term business strategy.
• Passionate about building relationships and embedding a strong safety culture.
