  • Prepare HSE reports and maintain accurate safety and emergency response records
  • Participate in audits, emergency simulations and continuous improvement initiatives

  • Strong emergency response experience
  • Experience as a Safety Advisor, Safety Supervisor or HSE Coordinator
  • Previous experience within mining, resources or another heavy industrial environment
  • Underground mining experience is highly regarded but not essential

  • Competitive salary package
  • 15% short-term incentive bonus
