About Grove
Grove is a dynamic and diversified business operating across modular construction, transport, and equipment hire. With a strong footprint in manufacturing and construction, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality outcomes without compromising safety. Our workforce is boots-on-the-ground and hands-on – and we expect our safety culture to be just as real, practical, and uncompromising.
Purpose of the Role
The OHS Coordinator plays a critical front-line role in ensuring Grove’s operations are fully compliant with relevant WHS legislation, internal systems, and industry standards. This is a hands-on position that demands a proactive, no-nonsense operator who is relentless in identifying system gaps, practical non-conformances, and cultural issues impacting safety.
You’ll be the person on the floor, in the yard, and out on site—working directly with tradespeople, site teams, and operations managers to embed a safety-first culture and drive real-world compliance.
Key Responsibilities
* Conduct regular site inspections, audits, and safety observations across all business units (modular construction, transport, hire, manufacturing).
* Identify and document system gaps, procedural failings, and practical safety risks, escalating critical issues to the HSEQ Manager.
* Work closely with operations and frontline teams to implement practical, real-world safety solutions that improve compliance and reduce risk.
* Assist in the development and roll-out of new safety procedures, training materials, and system improvements.
* Drive safety culture on the ground through education, leadership, and a consistent presence across sites.
* Support incident investigations, root cause analysis, and reporting processes with thorough follow-up and closure.
* Monitor compliance with legal requirements and ensure Grove is always audit-ready.
* Engage with trades and site personnel to identify barriers to safe work practices and deliver improvements.
* Maintain and update safety documentation, registers, SWMS, and risk assessments.
* Provide clear, confident guidance on WHS matters and empower teams to take ownership of safety.
Key Requirements
* Minimum 5 years’ experience in a similar OHS role, ideally in manufacturing, modular building, construction, or transport.
* Cert IV in Work Health and Safety (minimum); Diploma preferred.
* Proven ability to work with and influence tradespeople, operators, and site-based teams.
* Strong working knowledge of WHS legislation, risk management principles, and safe work practices.
* Hands-on mindset with the confidence to challenge unsafe practices and drive accountability.
* Experience conducting audits, inspections, and facilitating compliance reporting.
* Ability to translate systems and policies into real, practical site-level actions.
* High attention to detail and strong documentation skills.
* Comfortable working autonomously across multiple sites.
Ideal Candidate Profile
* You don’t just tick boxes—you find the real problems and fix them.
* You’re respected on the ground because you show up, back yourself, and follow through.
* You understand that compliance is about real safety, not just paperwork.
* You know the industry, know the risks, and don’t accept “we’ve always done it this way” as an excuse.
* You’re ready to make Grove safer, smarter, and more compliant every single day.
