Reporting to the Workplace Health & Safety Manager, you will take ownership of aspects of WHS across diverse agricultural operations and drive a strong, practical safety culture from the ground up.

The primary focus of the role is to ensure existing WH&S policies and procedures are aligned across all farming operations. There will also be a requirement to spend time in the field alongside operational teams, supporting the implementation and continuous improvement of the company’s Health & Safety Management System, guiding injury management and workplace rehabilitation, and ensuring compliance with Queensland WHS legislation.

The Role:

• Develop, review and implement WHS policies, procedures and Safe Work Method Statements;

• Conduct site inspections, risk assessments, audits and incident investigations, driving continuous improvement initiatives;

• Manage WHS reporting and documentation to internal best-practice standards;

• Coordinate workplace rehabilitation and return-to-work programs in accordance with the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act;

• Deliver WHS training, inductions and toolbox talks across sites;

• Coach and support leaders and employees to build a proactive, practical safety culture;

• Act as the key point of contact for all WHS matters across the business.

The Person:

• Certificate IV or Diploma in Work Health & Safety (or equivalent);

• Return to Work Coordinator qualifications highly regarded;

• Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (minimum TAE40116) highly regarded;

• Previous WHS experience, ideally within agribusiness, farming, manufacturing or another high-risk environment;

• Strong working knowledge of WHS legislation and compliance requirements;

• A practical, solutions-focused approach with the confidence to engage with people at all levels;

• Excellent communication and organisational skills;

• Willingness to travel between sites as required.

What’s on Offer:

• A dynamic career opportunity with a highly reputable agribusiness;

• The chance to make a real, measurable impact on safety outcomes in a newly created role;

• Generous salary package including a fully maintained company vehicle and local housing;

• A supportive team environment with genuine long-term career potential.

How to Apply:

To succeed in this role, you’ll be a dedicated safety professional with a ‘can do’ attitude — equally comfortable behind the desk refining WHS policy as you are out in the field rolling out safety initiatives.
