Make a real impact where safety comes first.

Are you an experienced HSEQ professional looking for more than just paperwork?

At Retro Traffic, safety is at the heart of everything we do. As one of Australia's leading Traffic Management companies, we support major infrastructure, construction and utilities projects across NSW and Queensland, ensuring our people and the communities we work in get home safely every day.

Due to continued growth across NSW and Queensland, we're expanding our HSEQ team. We're looking for an enthusiastic and proactive HSEQ Advisor to join our growing team in Rydalmere. Working alongside our National HSEQ Manager, you'll play a key role in strengthening our safety culture, supporting our operational teams, and driving continuous improvement across the business.

If you enjoy variety, building relationships, and making a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join Retro Traffic?

• Permanent full-time position with a stable and growing business.
• Work with an experienced and supportive HSEQ leadership team.
• Career development and progression opportunities.
• Diverse role combining office, operational and site-based activities.
• Exposure to major infrastructure and civil construction projects.
• Be part of an organisation where your ideas and initiatives are valued.
• Supportive team culture with genuine work-life balance.

About the Role

No two days are the same.

This role provides operational HSEQ support across our NSW and Queensland operations while helping maintain and continually improve our Integrated Management System (IMS).

You'll spend your time partnering with operational leaders, supporting injured workers, improving systems, conducting audits, analysing safety data and ensuring Retro Traffic continues to deliver industry-leading safety outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be responsible for:

• Supporting the ongoing development and maintenance of our HSEQ Management System.
• Investigating incidents, hazards and near misses, identifying root causes and ensuring corrective actions are completed.
• Coordinating Workers Compensation and Return to Work programs.
• Developing and reviewing SWMS, Safe Operating Procedures, toolbox talks and safety communications.
• Conducting internal audits and assisting with external ISO re-certification audits.
• Monitoring corrective actions, NCRs and compliance registers.
• Analysing HSEQ data and preparing meaningful reports for management.
• Supporting site inspections and providing practical safety advice to operational teams.
• Delivering inductions and assisting with HSEQ training initiatives.
• Supporting document control, policy development and continuous improvement projects.
• Building strong working relationships with operational teams, clients and external stakeholders.

About You

You'll be someone who enjoys building relationships just as much as improving systems.

To be successful you'll ideally have:

• Experience in an HSE Advisor, Safety Advisor, HSEQ Coordinator or similar position.
• Knowledge of Australian WHS legislation.
• Experience working within ISO-certified management systems (9001, 14001 and 45001).
• Experience managing Workers Compensation and Return to Work processes.
• Traffic Management experience highly regarded although not essential.
• Strong incident investigation and reporting skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Strong organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Confidence working autonomously while also contributing to a collaborative team.
• A proactive mindset focused on continuous improvement.
• Intermediate Microsoft Office skills.
• Current driver's licence and willingness to travel to operational sites when required.

What Will Set You Apart

We're looking for someone who:

• Leads by example and genuinely cares about people.
• Takes a practical, solutions-focused approach to safety.
• Builds trust with operational teams rather than policing them.
• Enjoys identifying opportunities to improve systems and processes.
• Can confidently communicate with employees at all levels of the business.
• Thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
