This opportunity sits within the OHSQE function of a specialist transport and logistics business operating in a highly regulated, high-risk environment. Supporting multiple sites across Victoria and occasionally interstate, this role blends hands-on safety delivery with broader coordination and stakeholder engagement.
Stepping into a business following a recent re-licensing with WorkSafe, you will play a key role in maintaining compliance, supporting day-to-day operations, and continuing to embed strong safety practices across the network.
Reporting to the GM – OHSQE, you will operate as a trusted safety partner to operational leaders, working closely with supervisors, managers and frontline teams. The role requires someone confident working autonomously, engaging with regulators, and managing competing priorities across a complex operational footprint.

* Contribute to risk assessments, hazard identification and continuous improvement initiatives
