Are you looking for an opportunity for a rewarding role where you will be an integral part of the Midwest Region OSH Team, helping the region achieve its safety and wellbeing requirements and initiatives.
We are seeking an Officer – Occupational Safety & Health, where every day will be different.
The role has a good combination of both office and field work aspects where at times it can be unpredictable and reactive. You will have the natural ability to stay calm under pressure in this dynamic environment and have the capability of prioritising your tasks at hand.
The role will require travel within the region to work hand in hand with Operations to support and coach teams in the safety aspects of their roles.

We value different viewpoints and perspectives. You are a problem solver who can think outside the box.
Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety or a tertiary level qualification in Occupational Health and Safety would be valuable, although not a requirement. We believe in developing and growing our people and therefore can support you if you do not have a qualification.
