For the right candidate, this role provides a clear pathway into future Zero Harm Advisor opportunities while developing practical experience in safety leadership, systems improvement, governance, data analytics and project delivery.

• Working regularly from our Qantas Drive regional office, and Logan Water and Urban Utilities client offices in the region.
• Supporting the implementation and continuous improvement of Downer's HSE systems and processes across the SEQ Water portfolio.
• Coordinating regional safety programs, initiatives and improvement projects.
• Supporting learning teams, workshops, inductions and capability-building activities.

You'll bring a continuous improvement mindset, strong attention to detail, and a willingness to learn from experienced safety professionals while contributing to meaningful safety outcomes across major infrastructure programs.

You'll bring:

• A genuine passion for health, safety and continuous improvement.
• Strong organisational and coordination skills.
• The ability to analyse information and turn data into meaningful insights.
• Confidence working with systems, processes and technology.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
