  • Act as a primary WHS interface (with the Materiel Safety Engineer) to regulatory agencies and AVNCOMD for Apache-related hazards.
  • Support co‑located site EHS Specialists by evaluating workplace hazards and providing technical guidance.
  • Report on Commonwealth safety system compliance against Environmental, Health & Safety regulatory requirements.
  • Lead program reviews, investigate incidents and recommend corrective actions to prevent re‑occurrence.
  • Provide WHS change impact assessments for Apache system changes across the enterprise.
  • Deliver education and training to meet regulatory and business requirements.

Who we're looking for

  • Thorough knowledge of Australian WHS and environmental laws, regulations and reporting requirements.
  • Demonstrated knowledge and application of ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
  • Strong time management and prioritisation skills to operate in a fast‑paced environment.
  • Experience working within a highly regulated environment.
