About the role
I am recruiting on behalf of a respected Australian business. We are looking for a hands-on HSEQ Officer who wants a genuine step up, with support to grow into a broader HSEQ Advisor/Lead remit over time. You will have room to shape systems, drive engagement, and deliver practical improvements, not just maintain registers.
What you’ll do
Keep the risk register current; update/verify JSAs, SOPs and control effectiveness.
Plan and run inspections and internal audits; issue reports and drive action close-outs (ISO 45001 aligned).
Coordinate incident management: notifications, ICAM participation, corrective/preventive actions and verification of effectiveness.
Govern inductions, toolbox talks and competency (matrix, evidence, expiry tracking) with supervisors.
Maintain legal/compliance registers, consultation records and the compliance calendar (HSC minutes, regulator actions).
Strengthen contractor management (pre-quals, onboarding, permits to work, supervision).
Uplift isolation/LOTO, hot work and confined space permits; improve chemical management (SDS/GHS, manifests, storage/segregation).
Partner with HR/Operations on RTW/injury management and wellbeing documentation.
Track leading/lagging HSE KPIs and produce a clear monthly governance report/dashboard.
Support continuous improvement: trend analysis, CAPA tracking and simple standards that stick.
What you’ll bring
3–5 years in HSE/WHS (Officer/Coordinator) with strong follow-through.
Cert IV WHS (ICAM and/or internal auditor training highly regarded).
Practical communicator who can influence without authority and close actions on time.
Disciplined admin and systems capability (Microsoft 365; incident/audit tools; basic BI/reporting).
Unrestricted Australian work rights, valid driver’s licence, and ability to travel to sites as required.
Why join
Clear progression pathway with mentoring and funded training where useful.
Chance to build and improve simple, reliable processes—real ownership, real impact.
Supportive leadership and straightforward expectations.
Market-competitive salary, super and standard benefits.
