HSEQ Advisor

Zenergy has been engaged exclusively to appoint an HSEQ Advisor for a well-established Victorian manufacturer operating in the prefabricated construction components sector. With a purpose-built facility in Melbourne's south-east, this business supplies critical structural components to major construction and infrastructure projects across the state and takes the safety of its people seriously.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on advisory role suited to an HSEQ professional who is comfortable working in a high-volume industrial environment and wants genuine ownership of day-to-day safety operations. Reporting to the National HSEQ Manager, you'll be the primary safety resource on site — driving compliance across health, safety, environment, and quality, while helping embed a practical, people-first culture across the facility.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Maintaining and improving the site's integrated management system in line with ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001
• Leading incident investigations and driving corrective actions through to completion
• Conducting site inspections, hazard identification, risk assessments, and SWMS/SWP reviews across manufacturing and yard operations
• Managing hazardous substances compliance including risk assessments, SDS registers, and approved product lists
• Supporting inductions, toolbox talks, and ongoing safety engagement across the workforce
• Coordinating injury management, workers' compensation, and return to work programs
• Supporting employee health, wellbeing, and fitness for duty — including individual and group-based initiatives
• Preparing HSEQ reporting and documentation for internal leadership and relevant regulators

THE ESSENTIALS

• Tertiary qualification in WHS or a related discipline. Equivalent experience considered; Lead Auditor qualification desirable
• 2–3 years in a similar hands-on HSEQ advisory role
• Solid working knowledge of integrated management systems: ISO 45001, 9001, and 14001
• Prior exposure to manufacturing, industrial, or heavy construction environments. Prefabricated or civil experience well regarded
• The confidence to operate with autonomy and engage credibly with workers, supervisors, union representatives, and senior leadership alike
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust in a blue-collar environment

THE BENEFITS

• Flexible on structure: full time or part time arrangement considered for the right candidate
• Join a business where people stay. Strong internal tenure reflects a stable, well-run operation
• Permanent role with long-term stability and an active project pipeline
• Direct influence over safety culture and systems, not a tick-and-flick compliance function
