Reporting to the Safety Manager, you'll provide practical health and safety support across a genuinely diverse portfolio — civil, structural, energy, and renewables projects across metro and regional Victoria and interstate. You'll help implement systems and processes into projects, along with project-specific management plans, while ensuring compliance and promoting a positive safety culture.

This role requires flexibility and a willingness to travel, with interstate travel required at times to support projects outside Victoria. It's a great opportunity to broaden your experience across sectors and project types. FIFO arrangements come with LAHA when working away from home, along with flights and travel time built in — a solid way to fast-track your experience and earnings.

We're looking for someone who can start as soon as possible and hit the ground running.

• Provide proactive health and safety support across civil infrastructure, energy and renewables projects.
• Assist with project mobilisation and establishment of HSEQ systems for new projects.
• Develop, review, and maintain project-specific safety management plans and documentation.
• Conduct site inspections, audits, and compliance activities.
• Support incident investigations, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Partner with operational teams to identify, assess, and manage project risks.
• Deliver safety guidance and coaching to supervisors, employees, and subcontractors.
• Monitor compliance with legislative, client, and company requirements.
• Utilise digital safety systems and technology platforms to manage inspections, reporting, and compliance activities, including remote project support.
• Contribute to the continual improvement of safety systems, procedures, and project outcomes..

• Demonstrated experience in a Safety Advisor role within civil infrastructure, energy, or renewables
• Sound understanding of relevant legislation and industry best practice
• Confidence engaging supervisors, subcontractors, and project teams in the field
• A proactive, hands-on approach to risk and compliance and project start ups
• Energy and drive to get in amongst it — you're not looking for a desk job
• Willingness to travel and work away from home, including interstate rotations
