About the Role

Make safety matter. Influence operational performance. Build on what has already been done. Help shape a safer future.

At Cleanaway, safety is a guiding principle and it at the heart of everything we do. As Australia’s leading waste management and resource recovery organisation, we operate in complex, high-risk environments where strong safety leadership makes a real difference.

We’re looking for a proactive Health & Safety Business Partner who can collaborate with and influence operational leaders to turn safety insights into meaningful action. This is an opportunity to be present in the field, build trusted relationships and influence how safety is embedded across our operations.

You’ll play an important role in strengthening our safety culture, verifying critical controls and helping our people go home safely every day.

The key responsibility of this role is to coach, support and mentor operational leaders and frontline teams to implement Health & Safety strategies, strengthen risk management and improve safety performance.

To do this we are looking for a person who can:

• Analyse safety performance data, identify emerging risks and control weaknesses, and partner with key stakeholder to drive continuous improvement initiatives that deliver measurable outcomes.
• Partner with operational leaders to conduct field assurance and critical control verification
• Provide subject matter expertise in incident investigations using ICAM or equivalent methodologies, identifying root causes and driving effective corrective actions and organisational learning.
• Drive consistency in the management of operational risks across assigned areas
• Strengthen regulatory compliance through inspections, assurance activities, corrective action management and engagement with relevant stakeholders.

About You

You’re a confident, practical safety professional who wants to have an impact on an organisation and enjoys working alongside operational teams, asking the right questions and influencing positive change. You possess the ability to make safety “simple”, by balancing your strong technical knowledge with a collaborative approach, that focuses on helping leaders build capability and take ownership of safety.

Your industry experience and knowledge will add value to the business, more importantly you will bring:

• A curious mindset
• The ability to build trusted relationships
• Capability to coach, mentor, develop and support operational leaders
• An approach that is embedded in continuous improvement
• The confidence to interpret safety metrics, identify opportunities and create practical, data-driven solutions.
• The understanding of the importance of effective critical risk management and critical control verification

 

Why Cleanaway?

If you’re ready to take your safety career beyond compliance and make a lasting operational impact, we’d love to hear from you.
