The Senior Safety Advisor will support the Logan Faster Rail project by implementing workplace health and safety systems across construction activities, conducting inspections and audits, assisting with risk assessments, investigating incidents, and advising project teams on legal and company requirements. Candidates are generally expected to hold a relevant safety qualification, such as a Certificate IV or diploma in Work Health and Safety, along with substantial experience on major civil infrastructure, rail, or construction projects. Strong knowledge of Australian work health and safety legislation, excellent communication skills, and the ability to influence supervisors, subcontractors, and site personnel are essential. Rail, transport, or large-project experience, together with relevant industry tickets and a proactive approach, would be highly valued.

Australia offers strong opportunities for safety professionals, particularly in construction, rail, mining, renewable energy, infrastructure, and major engineering projects. Workplace culture is generally practical, direct, team-oriented, and focused on consultation, safety, and work-life balance. Lifestyle varies from Brisbane’s warm climate and outdoor activities to Melbourne’s cultural scene, Sydney’s beaches, and regional areas with lower living costs. International applicants usually need an appropriate visa, such as an employer-sponsored Skills in Demand visa, a temporary graduate visa, or a working holiday visa where eligible. Skilled applicants should check occupation lists, licensing requirements, English-language rules, health checks, and recognition of qualifications. Relocating involves arranging accommodation, tax registration, banking, health insurance, transport, and possibly a construction induction card or state-specific safety credentials. Queensland project roles may require travel to sites, a driver’s licence, and flexible commuting arrangements.
