- Lead incident investigations, corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Develop safety training and education to strengthen capability across the workforce.
- Lead, coach and develop the WHS team, supporting consistent standards across the business.
- Monitor safety performance, identify trends and implement initiatives to improve outcomes.

- Essential experience within manufacturing or production environments.
- Strong working knowledge of QLD and NSW legislation.
- Experience leading, coaching and developing a WHS team.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.
- Relevant tertiary qualifications in WHS, OHS or a related discipline.
