Site EHS Manager

Are you an experienced Safety Manager or a Safety Advisor, Senior Advisor or Safety Business Partner ready to take the next step into a leadership role?

We are seeking a hands-on Site EHS Manager to join a well-established manufacturing and processing operation in Melbourne's west. Reporting to the Head of EHS and sitting on the Site Leadership Team, this is a highly visible role focused on building relationships, influencing leaders, and driving a proactive safety culture across a complex industrial environment. This is not an office-based compliance role. Success will come from your ability to engage with people on the shop floor, coach leaders, and embed safe work practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all site safety, health and environmental activities
• Coach and support frontline leaders in managing operational risks
• Drive safety culture, engagement and behavioural safety initiatives
• Facilitate incident investigations and corrective actions
• Manage return to work and injury management processes
• Maintain compliance with relevant legislation, standards and management systems
• Monitor safety performance, analyse trends and support continuous improvement initiatives

The Person

• Substantial proven experience in a safety role within manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, processing or another high-risk operational environment
• Ideal role for someone to step into their first EHS Manager position or further develop your leadership capability
• A strong relationship builder who influences through coaching
• Comfortable working closely with frontline employees and operational leaders
• Practical understanding of risk management, incident investigation and injury management
• Strong communication skills with the ability to drive change and build trust across all levels of the business

Why This Role?
This is an outstanding opportunity for a proven operational safety professional who wants broader exposure and leadership responsibility without losing touch with the workforce. You'll join a collaborative national safety team, gain exposure to senior stakeholders, and play a key role in shaping site culture while building the experience needed for future leadership opportunities. The business offers a supportive, down-to-earth environment where relationships, trust and visible leadership are highly valued.
