The opportunity…
We currently have an opportunity for an up-and-coming WHS Specialist to join the WHS Team at a well-established Medical Device company. We have an exciting pipeline of improvement initiatives planned for 2024 so you will have the ability to make an immediate impact. Reporting to the WHS Manager, you will assume responsibility for:
- Managing incidents and associated investigations;
- Overseeing injury management and return to work of injured workers through collaboration with our injury management service providers;
- Facilitating training of emergency personnel (first aiders and fire wardens) as needed;
- Overseeing the management of emergency equipment supplies across DT sites;
- Supporting the various business units with risk assessments;
- Assisting with general queries directed to the WHS email account;
- Controlling all WHS reporting; and
- Assisting the WHS Manager as needed with other management system projects or improvement initiatives.
About you...
At Device Technologies, we succeed through our commitment to four key values:
Delivering Innovation – We encourage and reward fresh ideas and are committed to supporting our people to make change.
Seeking Collaboration – We support each other in our combined mission to help others achieve their goals.
Taking Ownership – We believe in equipping our people to take responsibility and accountability in their roles and trust them to get the job done.
Practising Good Business – Our success is built on a mix of intuition and experience and we foster an environment where all voices are heard and nobody is afraid to make mistakes.
Our ideal candidate for this role aligns with these values.
The role will require the ability to work independently, but with as much support from the WHS Manager as you need. A passion for helping others and caring for the safety and wellbeing of staff is a must. The ability to work with people from all levels of the organisation will be critical to your success in the role. Attention to detail is vital as is the ability to work under pressure at times. You do not need to be an expert in all areas of WHS, but you do need to be a problem solver with the drive and resourcefulness to research and find solutions to address challenging issues. If you're looking for an opportunity to further develop your knowledge and understanding of WHS but also want the ability to make your mark and positively influence change, then we want to hear from you.
Experience required:
You must have a minimum of a Certificate IV in Work Health & Safety as well as demonstrable previous experience in:
- A similar health and safety role (minimum of 2 years);
- Health & safety improvement initiatives;
- Risk assessments;
- Incident and injury management;
- WHS reporting;
