  • A long-term career, working for one of the world's leading providers of drilling products and services.

Safety and a zero-harm culture is a core part of our business. To ensure the safety of all employees, successful candidates will need to meet the essential requirements of a pre-employment medical.

If you are interested in this excellent career opportunity, please apply now!

At Boart Longyear, “Making Safety Personal” is a core value. Fostering a safety culture that emphasizes why we work safely is more than just a safety program – it’s the way we work every day. To make it safe, make it personal, and make it home – for ourselves, our families, and for each other. We are looking for someone who makes safety just as personal as we do.

An opportunity is available for an experienced Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Advisor to join our dynamic team, based across our client sites on an 8 day on/ 6 day off roster. This is a FIFO field-based role that partners with operational leaders to manage EHS risk in the workplace, through implementation of our EHS management systems and programs. Building a successful relationship with our customers is crucial in delivering a strong EHS culture in the field.
