Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
This senior role supports health, safety, environmental and dangerous-goods compliance across FedEx operations in Australia. Requirements typically include relevant qualifications in occupational health and safety, environmental management, dangerous-goods transport or a related discipline, along with substantial experience in logistics, aviation, freight or industrial environments. Knowledge of Australian WHS legislation, environmental requirements, hazardous-material regulations and transport standards is expected. The successful candidate should be capable of conducting audits, risk assessments and incident investigations, delivering training, maintaining compliance programs and advising operational leaders. Strong communication, analytical, reporting and stakeholder-management skills are important, as is the ability to work independently, travel to operational sites and promote a practical, proactive safety culture.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Truck drivers and warehouse staff are not on the Core Skills list; supply and distribution managers and supply chain analysts are, at AUD 79,423+.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Warehouse and driver jobs go to people who already have work rights, including working holiday makers (6 months per employer); office roles are the ones sponsored.
