Lead safety where it matters. Influence outcomes. Be part of projects that leave a legacy.
Liberty Industrial is setting new standards in deconstruction, decommissioning and remediation, delivering some of Australia’s most complex and high-profile industrial projects.
With a strong commitment to safety, environmental sustainability and innovation, we continue to grow across major projects nationally. We are currently seeking experienced HSEQ Leads and HSEQ Advisors to support a significant Melbourne-based project, with both local Melbourne and FIFO 2:1 options available depending on experience and role level.
Whether you are an experienced HSEQ Advisor ready for your next challenge or a senior HSEQ Lead looking to influence project outcomes, we want to hear from you.
The Opportunity
As the HSEQ Lead, you will lead all HSEQ functions on site, providing direction, oversight and support to both operational teams and HSEQ Advisors.
This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring a strong field presence, clear direction, and the ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the business. You will play a key role in ensuring systems are not only in place, but are understood, implemented and continuously improved.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Melbourne-based project – local role available
- FIFO 2:1 option considered for the right candidate
- Leadership role with full ownership of site HSEQ performance
- Work on a complex, high-profile demolition project
- Strong pipeline of ongoing work across the business
- Opportunity to lead, mentor and develop HSEQ Advisors
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and manage all HSEQ activities across the project
- Provide leadership, guidance and support to HSEQ Advisors and site teams
- Drive a proactive, positive safety culture through strong field engagement
- Ensure compliance with WHS legislation, company systems and client requirements
- Oversee site inspections, audits and risk management processes
- Lead incident investigations (ICAM) and ensure outcomes and learnings are embedded
- Review, approve and ensure implementation of Safe Systems of Work, SWMS and procedures
- Engage with Project Managers, Supervisors and workforce to influence safe behaviours
- Monitor site performance and drive continuous improvement initiatives
- Deliver clear, consistent communication across all levels – from site crews to senior leadership and client representatives
- Ensure all reporting, documentation and compliance records are accurate and up to date
- Support training, development and capability uplift across the workforce
