WHS Advisor

Work across one of Brisbane’s most diverse and high-profile operating environments.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced WHS Advisor to support major construction, infrastructure, maintenance and operational activities within a complex, highly regulated environment.

The risk profile is incredibly varied, spanning major construction projects, aviation and airfield operations, roads and transport infrastructure, electrical and utilities works, facilities maintenance and large contractor workforces.

Initially offered as a 6-month contract, with a start date in mid September, there is strong potential for extension or ongoing work given the significant pipeline of projects ahead.

The Opportunity
Joining an experienced team of Safety Advisors, you will provide additional support across multiple portfolios, with a particular focus on construction, infrastructure and maintenance projects.

This is a hands-on, site-based role where you will:

• Conduct WHS inspections across active projects and operational areas
• Partner with contractors, project teams and operational stakeholders
• Review risk assessments, SWMS and safety documentation
• Support contractor safety performance and compliance
• Conduct and support incident investigations
• Provide practical advice across a broad range of operational risks

With multiple projects occurring concurrently, you will need to be comfortable navigating competing priorities and using sound judgement in a fast-moving environment.

About You
We are looking for an experienced WHS professional who can quickly establish credibility across both site and corporate stakeholders.
You will ideally bring:

• Certificate IV in Work Health & Safety or higher
• 3+ years' practical WHS experience
• High-risk construction, major infrastructure and/or aviation experience
• Strong contractor management and site inspection capability
• Incident investigation experience
• Confidence reviewing SWMS, risk assessments and safety documentation
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• The ability to work autonomously and effectively prioritise competing demands

What's On Offer?

• Initial 6-month contract with strong potential for extension
• Mid September start date
• Exposure to high-profile construction and infrastructure projects
• Onsite parking provided
• Flexible start and finish times
• Full-time, Monday to Friday
• Site-based role across the broader airport environment
• Supportive and experienced Safety team
