Hse manager (brisbane)

We're Australia's clean energy pioneer — delivering projects that do right by people, respect Country, and protect the planet, while raising the bar for how renewables are done.

Windlab is Australia's clean energy pioneer. For over 20 years, we have set new standards in the development and construction of clean energy infrastructure through an unwavering commitment to balance the needs of our stakeholders, community, Country, and the environment.

We're raising the bar on renewables through our commitment to the highest standards from day one, driven by a long‐term view and a strong sense of integrity. Our in‐house experts bring the agility and technical insight needed to innovate quickly and solve complex challenges. And through genuine partnerships, we work closely with communities to ensure our projects deliver meaningful and lasting benefits.

• Be tenacious. Adapting and flexing helps us overcome challenges and navigate change. We are proactive and responsive, comfortable in complexity.
• Raise the bar. Creating new standards beats being limited by existing ones. We are always learning, seeking out opportunities to improve, willing to get our hands (and boots) dirty.
• Think differently. Innovative solutions are guided by science, cutting‐edge methods, and the highest levels of expertise. We create magic when we put our heads together and remain open to the possibilities.
• Be ruthlessly responsible. We do the right thing because we want to — not because we have to. We listen, show compassion, keep our promises, and create lasting advantages for our people, community, environment, and Country.

We're seeking an experienced Owners/Client‐Side HSE Manager to lead health, safety, and environmental initiatives for Windlab's Gawara Baya Wind Farm Project. Working closely with project stakeholders, the HSE Manager will foster a proactive safety culture, advocate for HSE excellence, and serve as a role model across the site.

This is a full‐time, fly‐in‐fly‐out (FIFO) position from Brisbane or Townsville based on‐site at the Gawara Baya Wind Farm, located on Gugu Badhun Country in the Upper Burdekin region of North Queensland.

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.

We believe there is a better way to deliver cleaner, low‐cost, renewable energy.
