The Opportunity

Reporting to the Superintendent: Occupational Health & Safety, you will lead a small team of Safety Advisors and play a key role in shaping the safety culture and risk management maturity across St Ives Gold Mine.

This is an opportunity for an experienced safety leadership professional who is passionate about developing people, influencing operational leaders, and ensuring critical risks are effectively managed. You’ll work closely with site leadership teams to create practical, risk-based solutions that improve safety performance while supporting safe and productive operations.

Success in this role will come from your ability to build strong relationships, challenge thinking constructively, develop capability within your team, and translate safety systems and data into meaningful improvements in the field.

Up to six months’ free, company-provided accommodation may be available for eligible candidates from under-represented groups (for example, women in mining and Indigenous Australians) relocating to Kambalda for permanent roles.

Accommodation includes basic furnishings and utilities and is subject to availability and housing policy, with support available to assist with transitioning to a lease after the initial six-month period. Eligibility and final terms will be discussed during the recruitment process.
