Our client— Australasia’s largest healthcare and animal care distributor, is looking for an energetic WHS Advisor to be the face of safety at their Smeaton Grange warehouse. You’ll be on the floor, in the operation, building relationships, shaping culture and helping a growing site continue to lift the bar.
About The Role
You’ll be supported day-to-day by a highly experienced ANZ Safety Manager and plugged into a national team of 14+ specialists who will help you grow, stretch and build your safety career.
The perfect role for someone early in their WHS journey who wants real responsibility, real visibility, and real support.
Why You’ll Love This Role
- Be the key safety lead for a high-energy warehouse with plenty of opportunity to influence and improve.
- Join a large, national safety team who will coach, guide and back you every step of the way.
- Hands-on, front-line exposure to operations — you’ll see everything, learn fast and grow even faster.
- A site that’s lifting and evolving — new traffic management, improving systems, strong leadership support, and appetite for change.
- Real impact, not just paperwork — you’ll build trust, shape behaviour and help drive a culture where safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Every day will be different, but you’ll be hands-on across:
- On-the-Floor Engagement: Building relationships with a wide range of personalities and coaching, educating and influencing behavioural safety
- Safety Systems & Documentation: Uplifting SOPs, SWIs and training programs & maintaining WHS systems (Mango)
- Supporting audits, inspections and WHS governance & monitoring and reporting site safety metrics
- Risk & Incident Management: Undertaking risk assessments & completing investigations (ICAM highly regarded)
- Working with stakeholders to implement practical controls
- Injury Management & RTW: Working closely with the Group RTW team to manage cases and support safe recovery.

- Solid understanding of WHS fundamentals, risk and compliance frameworks
- ICAM training, traffic management experience, COR exposure
- Working knowledge of WHS systems such as Mango
