The Senior Safety Advisor is responsible for supporting safe work practices across construction projects, conducting site inspections, identifying hazards, investigating incidents, and maintaining compliance with Australian workplace health and safety legislation. Requirements typically include relevant safety qualifications such as a Certificate IV or Diploma in Work Health and Safety, substantial experience in construction or civil works, knowledge of risk management systems, and strong reporting and communication skills. The successful candidate is expected to work collaboratively with project managers, supervisors, subcontractors, and employees; provide practical safety advice; promote a positive safety culture; and confidently challenge unsafe practices. Experience with audits, training, incident investigations, and project documentation is highly desirable.
CBP Contractors is an Australian construction and contracting business involved in delivering civil, infrastructure, and related project services. Its work commonly requires coordination between project management teams, engineers, tradespeople, subcontractors, and clients, with strong attention to safety, quality, environmental responsibility, and programme delivery. As with many contractors operating in Australia, the company may support projects across different locations and work environments, including active construction sites and potentially regional or remote areas. A Senior Safety Advisor would contribute to the company’s operational standards by helping teams manage risks, comply with legislation, complete inspections and investigations, and embed safety into everyday planning and delivery. Candidates are likely to value a practical, field-focused culture, clear communication, and the opportunity to influence safety performance across significant projects.
Australia offers strong opportunities for safety professionals in construction, civil infrastructure, mining, energy, and government projects, particularly in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, and Victoria. Workplace culture is generally direct, practical, and collaborative, with strong emphasis on consultation, accountability, and work-life balance. Lifestyle options range from major-city living to coastal communities and regional project locations. Living costs can be high, especially for housing in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, while regional roles may include accommodation, travel, or living-away-from-home allowances. Skilled applicants may qualify for employer-sponsored visas such as the Skills in Demand visa, subject to occupation, experience, English, health, and character requirements. Permanent residency pathways may also be available. Candidates should confirm visa eligibility, licensing expectations, project location, and relocation support before accepting an offer.
