About the Opportunity
Reporting to the National Safety Manager - Operations, this Health & Safety Business Partner role supports a portfolio of sites across Southern/Eastern Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Working within a hybrid environment (one day WFH), you will provide expert advice, lead investigations, support audits, analyse safety performance data and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
A key focus of the role will be building strong relationships, coaching leaders and embedding practical safety solutions that enhance capability and support a positive safety culture. This is a highly visible partnering role suited to someone who enjoys balancing strategic influence with hands-on operational support.
