An established Australian organisation operating across multiple production and processing sites is seeking an experienced and people focused Health, Safety and Environment Business Partner to support operational teams across NSW.

About the role
Based at Kooragang Island in Newcastle, you will partner with operational leaders across a diverse group of sites, including a large site in Newcastle, and 3 others in regional NSW and northern Sydney.
This is a hands on, relationship driven role where you will spend time on site, coaching leaders, influencing decisions and helping teams improve the way they identify, manage and communicate health, safety and environmental risks.
You will be part of a supportive national HSE team and work closely with environmental and injury management specialists.

- Lead or support incident investigations and coach leaders through the process
- Assist with risk assessments, assurance activities and regulatory interactions
- Support the implementation of behaviour and leadership based HSE programs
- Collaborate with colleagues across HSE, operations and support functions

- Strong operational HSE partnering experience in industrial, processing, logistics or manufacturing environments
- Well developed coaching and influencing ability
- Strong communication, relationship building and problem solving skills
- Practical understanding of WHS and environmental legislation
- Experience with incident investigations, risk management and safety systems

What is on offer?

- A collaborative and people centred organisational culture
- Variety in your work across multiple sites and risk profiles
- Strong support from an engaged national HSE team
- Competitive remuneration and long term career opportunities
- A role with meaningful impact in a business that keeps essential industries moving
