About the role: At Aurizon, we know that human performance is at the heart of safe operations.
We’re looking for a passionate and curious professional to join our Safety, Health, Environment and Learning team as a Human Factors Advisor — a role where psychology, data, and real-world safety come together.
You’ll play a key role in helping our people perform at their best — bringing human factors science and fatigue management into day-to-day rail operations. Working alongside a team of technical experts, you’ll influence how we design work, learn from events, and continuously improve safety across Aurizon.
What you’ll be doing

- Contribute to the ongoing development and implementation of Aurizon’s Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS).
- Support investigations and learning reviews by providing human factors insights.
- Drive continuous improvement projects focused on human performance and system safety.
About you
You’re someone who loves understanding why people do what they do — and how work can be designed to make it safer, easier, and more effective. You’ll bring curiosity, empathy, and a strong technical foundation in human factors, psychology, or safety.
You’ll also bring:
- A tertiary qualification in psychology, human factors, or a related field (mandatory).
- Experience applying human factors or fatigue risk management principles in transport, aviation, mining, or other safety-critical industries (preferred).
- The ability to engage and influence across all levels of an organisation.
- Strong analytical and communication skills, with a knack for simplifying complex concepts.
- Confidence working independently while collaborating across a national network of safety professionals.
What we offer you:
At Aurizon, we support the development and growth of our employees. With a national portfolio of operations, we offer long-term and exciting career opportunities.
