  • Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety or higher
  • Current Construction Industry White Card
  • Demonstrated experience within construction, utilities, power, infrastructure or major project environments
  • Strong knowledge of Australian WHS legislation and high risk work activities
  • Experience supporting permit to work systems, risk management processes and critical control verification
  • Proven capability conducting field inspections, workplace observations and assurance activities
  • Experience investigating incidents and supporting corrective action management
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to positively influence operational teams and subcontractors
  • High attention to detail and a focus on compliance, audit readiness and documentation
  • Experience using HSE management systems and training platforms
  • The confidence to intervene, challenge unsafe practices and elevate critical risks when required.

What We Offer

At Downer, we invest in our people and create opportunities for career growth and development.

You will have access to:

  • Competitive remuneration package
  • Career development and progression opportunities
  • Exposure to major transmission and substation projects
  • A collaborative and supportive team environment
  • Ongoing learning and professional development
  • Employee benefits and wellbeing initiatives
  • The opportunity to work with an industry leading organisation delivering critical energy infrastructure projects
