With an extensive national footprint and a commitment to safety excellence, this organisation is focused on ensuring every employee goes home safe, every day.

The Role

You’ll bring:
  • Proven experience within manufacturing, industrial, or FMCG environments.
  • Strong working knowledge of Work Health & Safety legislation, systems, and risk management practices.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and inspire.
