Job Description

HSE Manager – Queensland

Bring ideas to life. And keep people safe while you do it.

At Aurecon, we don’t just design infrastructure and advisory solutions – we reimagine what’s possible. We are a co-creative, fearless and resourceful team that thrives on solving complex problems and delivering meaningful impact for our clients and communities.

We’re looking for an experienced and engaging HSE Manager to join our Brisbane team – someone who can combine technical excellence with authentic leadership to shape safe, mentally healthy and high-performing environments across our region.

Why this role matters

This is more than governance and compliance. It’s about:

• Elevating HSE capability across diverse project and site teams
• Influencing senior leaders to proactively manage risk
• Driving digital innovation in our HSE pathway
• Embedding psychosocial risk management into how we do business
• Championing early intervention and return-to-work excellence

You’ll partner closely with Business Managing Directors, Service Group Leaders and project teams to ensure safety is not just managed — but genuinely lived.

What you’ll do

Strategic HSE Leadership

• Provide trusted advice on governance, risk and compliance across the region
• Lead injury and illness management, including early intervention and return-to-work coordination
• Integrate psychosocial risk into business risk management frameworks
• Support planning and prioritisation of HSE resources alongside the Group HSE Operations Leader

Project & Operational Support

• Coach teams to strengthen risk assessment capability and effective control implementation
• Deliver HSE Manager responsibilities including incident management, compliance assurance and reporting
• Ensure projects meet client HSE requirements and contracted support commitments

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Drive adoption of HSE digital initiatives
• Identify opportunities to simplify and enhance HSE delivery
• Contribute to Aurecon’s evolving HSE strategy

What you’ll bring

• Tertiary qualification in Health & Safety, Engineering, Science, Business or related field
• Deep knowledge of HSE legislation, systems and compliance requirements
• Practical project-based HSE experience (preferable mining, oil and gas or heavy industrial)
• Strong leadership and decision-making capability
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing skills
• Emotional intelligence and the ability to build trust at all levels
• A curious, problem-solving mindset with personal drive and resilience

You’re comfortable navigating complexity, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, and engaging a wide range of stakeholders across disciplines and client environments.

If you’re passionate about shaping safer workplaces, strengthening leadership capability, and making a tangible difference across major projects and advisory environments — this is your opportunity.
