You’re a qualified and experienced HSE professional with a Certificate IV in Occupational Health and Safety and ideally a postgraduate qualification. A background in environmental science or management is highly valued, along with credentials as a Lead Auditor and ICAM Investigator.

You bring deep experience across major civil and electrical projects—wind farm experience is a plus. You know the regulatory landscape inside out and have a proven track record of building strong HSE cultures, managing environmental impacts, and leading incident investigations with precision.

Your leadership style is inclusive and values-driven from the field to the office. You’re a skilled communicator, strategic thinker, and problem solver who thrives in complex, remote environments. You’re confident working independently or within diverse teams, and you consistently deliver practical, high-impact solutions while keeping safety, quality, and compliance front of mind.
