What’s on offer?

We’re looking for an experienced Safety Manager to support the successful delivery of a major infrastructure project in New South Wales for our Eastern Region Construction (ERC) business. This is a critical leadership role where you’ll help set the tone for safety across the project and ensure every task is planned and delivered the right way.

Working closely with the Project Director and delivery teams, you’ll provide clear direction, advice and support to embed a strong safety culture across all work fronts. You’ll be visible on site, working alongside teams to identify risks, implement controls and ensure safe outcomes are achieved every day.

What you’ll do

• Lead safety across the project, ensuring all works are planned and delivered in line with requirements
• Provide clear guidance and support to teams on risk identification, controls and safe work practices
• Work closely with delivery teams to embed safety into planning and day-to-day operations

How you’ll connect to the role?

We’re looking for a Safety Manager who brings strong experience in construction or infrastructure projects and understands how to support delivery teams in a practical way. You’re confident working in dynamic site environments and know how to balance compliance requirements with real-world project delivery.

You take a hands-on, visible approach to safety and are comfortable influencing decisions, providing guidance and supporting teams on site. You’re someone who builds trust, communicates clearly and works collaboratively to drive the right outcomes.

You care about people and the environments we work in, set clear expectations and lead by example. You take pride in creating a culture where everyone looks out for each other and goes home safe. You don’t need to tick every box, if you bring the right experience, mindset and a genuine commitment to safety, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a great opportunity to step into a role where you can shape how safety is delivered on a large, complex project and continue to grow your career as part of a supportive and high-performing team.
