• Partner with Operations, Maintenance and HR to ensure risk is well-managed and compliance standards are met.
• Coordinate the Risk Committee, manage incident investigations and ensure corrective actions are completed.
• Conduct safety audits, hazard assessments, and emergency-response drills.
• Maintain training, licence and return-to-work programs.
• Keep our safety visuals sharp — signage, line-marking and safety zones that speak to our standards every day.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience in WHS, Risk or Compliance in manufacturing, logistics or industrial settings.
• Qualifications in Work Health & Safety or Environmental Management (Cert IV / Diploma).
• A proactive, practical mindset and strong understanding of WHS legislation.
• Clear communication, coaching and leadership skills — you know how to engage people, not just enforce rules.
