Are you a hands-on Health & Safety professional who thrives on being out on the floor rather than behind a desk? A well-established manufacturing business is looking for a Health and Safety Manager to lead safety across their site.

About the Role

You'll take ownership of health, safety and compliance across the site, partnering closely with operations leaders and working independently as the go-to safety expert. This is a business that genuinely values a proactive, visible safety culture, you'll be expected to spend real time on the floor, building relationships with operators and driving continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

- Chair and support the OHS Committee
- Manage Workcover claims and injury/incident investigations
- Conduct risk assessments, including for a new production line
- Lead and coordinate site audits
- Drive general health & wellbeing initiatives
- Ensure ongoing compliance with relevant OHS legislation and standards
- Deliver training across the site
- Provide project support on broader safety initiatives

About You

- A manufacturing background is essential
- Tertiary qualification in Occupational Health & Safety, with relevant certification in risk management
- Proactive, adaptable, and genuinely hands-on, someone who gets things done rather than just manages from a distance
- Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels
- Comfortable working autonomously in a stand-alone capacity

If you're a safety professional who wants ownership of a role, enjoys being on the floor, and is looking for a business that backs a proactive approach to safety, we'd love to hear from you.
