On-Site, Involved, and Making a Difference in Workplace Safety

Are you ready to make a real difference in workplace safety? This is your chance to be on-site, working shoulder-to-shoulder with frontline teams, coaching leaders, and embedding a culture of safety in a fast-paced, high-risk environment. If you thrive on resilience, drive, and direct engagement, this role is for you!

Your New Role

Bring your Health & Safety expertise to the heart of operations, supporting and coaching leaders to proactively manage risk in real time. This is not a desk job—you’ll be out in the field, driving initiatives that protect our people and shape a safer future.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Inspire from the ground up: Work closely with frontline to ensure safety is more than a policy—it’s a way of working.
• Deliver impactful H&S projects: Drive risk reduction and control improvements in line with Cleanaway’s HSE Roadmap.
• Turn knowledge into action: Support sites in applying best practices to prevent injury and illness.
• Shape standards and strategy: Contribute to the development of H&S frameworks, ensuring continuous improvement and standardisation.
• Empower People: Influence and guide people on safety effectiveness, capability, and operational best practices.
• Be the link to regulators: Manage reporting, relationships, and responses to ensure compliance and engagement.
• Mentor and coach: Develop the next generation of H&S professionals by guiding and strengthening the H&S business partner team.

About You

We’re looking for a dedicated and proactive safety advocate, someone who’s not afraid to get involved, challenge the norm, and bring innovative ideas to the table. You understand that true workplace safety is about more than just policies—it’s about fostering a culture where people feel supported and empowered.

If you’re hands-on, resilient, and passionate about creating a safer work environment, we’d love to hear from you!

You’ll Bring:

• Real-world health and safety leadership experience in fast-paced blue-collar environments.
• A passion for sustainability and a natural ability to connect with people.
• The ability to influence and support cultural change through honest, practical initiatives.
• Expertise in complex incident investigation and root cause analysis.
• A track record of implementing H&S programs that feel achievable and deliver real results.
• Strong coaching and mentoring skills to develop H&S professionals and embed a culture of safety.
• Postgraduate qualifications in occupational health and safety (or relevant disciplines).

If you’re ready to step into a role where you can lead, influence, and drive real change, apply now and be part of Cleanaway’s journey to a safer future.
