• Manage our workshop risks- partner with our workshops to identify and manage new hazards, undertake risk assessments and champion reporting to promote a no-blame culture. Keeping safety visible, hands-on, and easy to understand.
• Keep safety moving - follow up and close out concerns, plan ahead for audits, training and workshop inspections that also consider the demands on our workshop teams.
• Build quality relationships - understand our business and workshop teams to collaborate together effectively and support our long term success through safety.

About you:

• Ideally, you've worked in mechanical or trade environments and understand the realities of keeping people safe in hands-on settings.
• You're familiar with ISO45001 and know how to apply it in a way that makes sense on the ground and not just on paper.
• Your communication style is confident, respectful, and down-to-earth. You know how to build trust, coach teams, and get buy-in without being heavy-handed.
• A hands-on approach that focuses on working collaboratively to achieve workable outcomes that don't over-complicate things.
