About the role

At Enerven, safety isn't something that happens from behind a desk. Our WHS Advisors are out where the work happens – alongside construction crews, supervisors and project teams, supporting the safe delivery of some of South Australia's most significant HV electrical maintenance and infrastructure projects.

We're looking for a WHS Advisor who understands construction, can talk to a crew as comfortably as they can talk to a Project Manager, and isn't afraid to get involved when they see something that needs attention.

With around 70% of your time field-based, you'll work across a diverse range of operational teams and sites, including remote work sites where you'll be the WHS presence on the ground.

You'll be involved in:

• Conducting safety observations, inspections and field audits
• Spending time with crews to understand how work is being performed and whether controls are effective
• Verifying procedures, SWMS and risk controls are being followed in practice
• Providing practical safety coaching and addressing issues as they arise
• Working with supervisors and project leaders to close out safety actions
• Attending pre-starts, toolbox talks and operational safety meetings
• Developing and reviewing SWMS and risk controls as new work and projects get underway
• Supporting incident reporting, investigations and corrective actions
• Conducting vehicle, plant and site safety checks
• Monitoring subcontractor compliance and performance
• Providing WHS input into contract management
• Monitoring safety systems including Enablon and SitePass
• Preparing monthly WHS reporting and project/client updates
• Attending client meetings and representing WHS in operational discussions
• Working alongside the Environment team on environmental matters identified in the field

About you

We're looking for someone who understands what it means to work in a high-risk construction environment and has experience with heavy civils works such as excavation, trenching, working at heights, mobile plant operation and civil construction.

You will also have a good understanding of electrical work environments and the hazards associated with working around HV electrical infrastructure.

But what matters most is that you're someone who can walk onto a site, understand the work, earn the crew's respect and have the conversation that needs to be had.

You will also bring:

• WHS experience within civil construction, electrical infrastructure, utilities or a similar high-risk environment
• A strong understanding of WHS legislation, codes, standards and safety systems
• Experience conducting safety observations, audits, inspections and risk assessments
• Confidence reviewing and developing SWMS and risk controls
• The ability to coach and influence rather than simply police compliance
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to challenge when required
• The ability to build relationships with everyone from field crews to senior project leaders
• A practical, solutions-focused approach
• The ability to work autonomously across multiple sites and operational teams
• A current driver's licence and the flexibility to travel across South Australia
• A relevant WHS qualification such as a Cert IV or Diploma will be highly regarded
