Safety Advisor

The New Richmond Bridge Stage 2 Project will improve connections between Richmond and North Richmond, reducing congestion, improving safety and providing greater flood resilience for the local community.

The project includes:

• Construction of a new four-lane bridge over the Hawkesbury River
• Widening Bells Line of Road through North Richmond
• Construction of a new bypass between Kurrajong Road / Old Kurrajong Road and Castlereagh Road / Southee Road
• New connections for pedestrians and bicycle users
• Intersection upgrades at Grose Vale Road
• Construction of the Southee Road bypass, including noise mitigation and landscaping

This is a significant civil infrastructure project involving bridge and structural works, earthworks, road construction, traffic interfaces and multiple subcontractor work fronts.

What’s on offer?

We’re looking for a Safety Advisor to join our Construction team in NSW and support the delivery of the New Richmond Bridge Stage 2 Project. This is a hands-on, site-based safety role where you’ll work alongside our construction teams to help ensure work is planned and delivered safely. You’ll spend time in the field, building relationships with our people and subcontractors, identifying risks and helping teams find practical ways to manage them.

We’re looking for someone who sees safety as part of how we deliver good construction outcomes, not simply a compliance exercise.

What you’ll do

Working closely with project leadership, engineers, supervisors, subcontractors and our wider safety team, you will:

• Provide practical, hands-on safety advice and support across structures, earthworks, roadworks and other civil construction activities
• Partner with project leaders, engineers, supervisors and crews to identify critical risks and implement effective controls
• Conduct site inspections, safety observations and assurance activities, maintaining a strong and visible presence in the field
• Support the preparation and review of SWMS, risk assessments and project safety documentation
• Lead and support incident and near-miss investigations, ensuring learnings and corrective actions are effectively implemented
• Work closely with subcontractors and project teams to strengthen safety practices, encourage open conversations and build a proactive safety culture

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for an experienced Safety Advisor who understands the realities of working on a busy construction site and takes a practical, collaborative approach to safety. You’ll ideally have experience across civil construction, major infrastructure, structures, earthworks or roadworks, supported by relevant WHS qualifications and a sound understanding of construction risk management.

You’re confident working with project leaders, supervisors, engineers, subcontractors and frontline crews, and you know how to build trust, influence behaviours and have constructive conversations when something isn’t right.

Most importantly, you enjoy being out on site, understanding how the work is being delivered and helping our teams find practical ways to work safely and get the job done right.
