• Operational Excellence: Continuously audit and improve WHS functionality to ensure legislative compliance and operational safety.

• Retail: Support the directors and operational staff in the day-to-day operations.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience in a dedicated HR and/or WHS role, ideally within multisite operations.

• Strong technical knowledge of ICARE processes and RTW coordination.

• The ability to travel across our New England/Northwest network as required.
