HSEQ Advisor - Disaster Response & Residential Restoration
$120-$140k + allowances | 2:1 roster | QLD or Northern Rivers
Maroochydore base | Immediate start | Permanent
Spinefex Recruiting is proud to partner with national leader in community-focused disaster response, residential restoration and resilience projects. When homes are damaged by floods, storms or major events, their teams are first on the ground - providing rapid, reliable, safe and compassionate support to help communities recover.
We're now seeking a resilient, practical, on‑the‑ground HSEQ Advisor who thrives in fast‑moving environments and isn't afraid to have fair, firm conversations to keep people safe.
This role is ideal for an established Health & Safety professional who enjoys hands‑on work rather than corporate formality, or it may appeal to a Site Supervisor wanting to further hone their HSEQ skillset.
Why This Role Matters
You'll play a vital role in making disaster‑affected residential sites safe - from make‑safes to rectification works, flood‑affected material handling, hygienist oversight, waste management, earthworks and more.
This is high‑volume, practical, community‑impact health and safety - not sitting behind a desk ticking boxes.
What You'll Be Doing
Operating on a 2 weeks on/1 week off roster, you'll:
* Respond rapidly to disaster events across QLD and the Northern Rivers
* Provide day‑to‑day HSEQ advice to Project Managers and Supervisors
* Drive a strong safety culture built on accountability, communication and collaboration
* Conduct site audits, toolbox talks, pre‑starts and contractor onboarding
* Oversee incident notification, investigations and corrective actions
* Assist with HSEQ plans, SWMS reviews, risk assessments and compliance checks
* Support ISO-accredited quality, environmental and safety systems
* Ensure high‑risk work controls, emergency plans and site protocols are in place
Every day looks different - sometimes structured, sometimes reactive - but always meaningful.
Who We're Looking For
Someone with resilience, influence and a bit of toughness when needed - a person who can win people over on site, build trust quickly, and hold firm on safety.
Mandatory Requirements
* HSEQ qualification (Certificate IV, Diploma or similar)
* 5+ years' experience in HSEQ, construction or related field

Ideal Experience
* Disaster response, civil, residential or restoration works
* Lead auditing, incident investigation or ISO systems
* Supervisory background transitioning into HSEQ (or vice versa)
What's In It For You
* $120-$140k package including super
* Generous travel, meal and on‑call allowances
* A meaningful role supporting communities in need
* A tight-knit team with strong values: Accountability, Collaboration, Respect
* Scope to grow your career in a rapidly expanding organisation
