You’ll be the first point of contact for incident reviews, lead site inspections and audits, and support managers and supervisors with expert coaching and guidance. You’ll also:

• Investigate incidents and identify improvement opportunities.
• Compile monthly performance reports and spot trends.
• Deliver H&S inductions, contractor controls, and ongoing training.
• Help develop and implement safety campaigns and improvement projects.
• Ensure risk assessments and safe systems of work are current and effective.
