The Project

Help support a major project in Melbourne. If you’re keen to work on a high‑profile build, and progress your career with an industry leader, we’d love to hear from you.

Your opportunity

We’re looking for a Safety Advisor who’s not just ticking boxes, but actually cares about how things run on site. Someone who’s confident stepping in, having real conversations, and helping teams lift their standards day to day.

You’ll be across the detail when it comes to compliance, but just as comfortable out on-site running audits, spotting risks early, and working with people to get it right. It’s a busy environment, so being able to juggle priorities, stay organised, and keep things moving will set you up well.

Above all, we want someone who takes ownership, brings a practical mindset, and genuinely wants to make a difference to how safety shows up on this project.

Our minimum requirements for this role are:

• Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (or similar)
• Solid experience working as a Safety Advisor in a construction environment
• A strong grasp of current construction safety legislation
• Comfortable working with Safety Management Systems and making them work in the real world
• Confidence running site inspections, audits, and risk assessments
• Return to Work Coordinator (Desirable) Experience leading investigations and writing clear incident reports (a big plus)
• Someone who can stay organised, manage competing priorities, and keep things moving
• Comfortable in the delivery of Toolbox Talks ensuring the quality of content & delivery for safety topics

Experience reviewing Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and facilitation of SWMS development workshops where necessary.

We are always looking for ways to make CPB Contractors a more rewarding place to work and offer a unique set of benefits, including:

• Genuine career pathways supported through training, talent identification and professional development
• Exposure across all construction sectors that enables promotion opportunities
• competitive remuneration and excellent benefits including a health and wellbeing program, discount portal and company-funded salary continuance insurance
