This is a high-impact role where you'll drive audit quality, strengthen assurance frameworks, and influence safety and compliance outcomes across the business. You'll work closely with external auditors, maintain accreditation standards, and uplift capability through coaching, education, and continuous improvement.
With a strong focus on risk and compliance, you'll assess safety and food safety management systems, policies, and procedures—while partnering with leaders to build capability and embed best practice across operations.

You should have solid experience in safety audits, compliance checks, and understand health and safety risk management practices within transport and/or agricultural industries. An ability to build positive and productive relationships with key stakeholders is a must.
