The Senior Safety Advisor will support safe delivery of construction and infrastructure projects by advising supervisors and workers, conducting site inspections, reviewing risk assessments and safe work method statements, investigating incidents, and monitoring compliance with Australian workplace health and safety legislation. Candidates are generally expected to hold a Certificate IV or Diploma in Work Health and Safety, have substantial experience in construction or civil projects, and understand relevant Australian standards and regulatory requirements. Strong communication, influencing, reporting and problem-solving skills are essential. The role suits a proactive safety professional who can work confidently with project teams, promote practical risk controls and help build a positive, accountable safety culture.
CBP Contractors is an Australian contracting business involved in delivering construction, civil and infrastructure work for public and private-sector clients. Its projects may include earthworks, utilities, roads, structures and other major site-based activities, requiring coordinated teams of engineers, supervisors, tradespeople and safety professionals. Like many Australian contractors, CBP Contractors places emphasis on safe work practices, quality delivery, environmental responsibility and meeting project schedules. The Senior Safety Advisor role supports these objectives by working closely with operational teams and helping ensure that hazards are identified and controlled throughout project delivery. The company environment is likely to suit people who enjoy practical, site-based work, collaboration with diverse crews and the responsibility of influencing safety outcomes in dynamic construction settings.
Australia offers strong opportunities for safety professionals across construction, infrastructure, mining, energy, transport and government projects. Demand is often highest in major cities and resource regions, including Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Workplace culture is generally practical, direct and team-oriented, with strong expectations around consultation, accountability and work-life balance. Lifestyle varies from busy metropolitan living to regional or FIFO arrangements; the country offers beaches, national parks, outdoor sport and a multicultural community. Skilled workers may need employer sponsorship or an eligible skilled visa, depending on their occupation, qualifications and experience. Applicants should check current requirements with the Department of Home Affairs and confirm whether their WHS qualifications are recognised. Relocation planning should include accommodation, health insurance, transport, tax, construction inductions and any required state safety registrations. Australia is geographically large, so travel between projects can be substantial.
