About Us

Equipped Civil is a leader in civil construction in South Australia operating across the state on major projects, upgrades and developments. The company offers quality services in civil, location services and traffic control. Having recently expanded and moving to new office and site facilities, it is now the time to expand the team. 

With decades of collective experience under their belt, the Equipped Civil team are innovators in the civil industry and have a list of successful projects to their name.

About the Role:

Reporting to the CEO, the position of HSEQ Manager is a hands-on safety role that is responsible for providing organisation wide leadership with relation to safety and driving the safety-first culture at Equipped Civil.

This position will provide strategy, direction and advice, working in close consultation and collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. The completion of risk assessments, audits, training and reporting WHS performance against a safety management plan is also a significant component of the position.

This position will be primarily based at our Burton offices but will require travel to and from our job sites.

This is a great opportunity if you are looking for a role where you:

• Develop, implement, review and refine operational risk, health, and safety management strategy and systems.
• Provide leadership and shape strategic thinking in a strong safety-first culture.
• Drive a significant shift in safety mindsets, behaviors, and accountability across the organisation.
• Lead and implement organisation-wide safety culture initiatives that result in measurable improvements in safety performance and behavior.

• Other activities as directed by the CEO.
