Full Job Description

At Compass Group Australia, safety is more than a framework — it’s a shared commitment grounded in care, respect, and strong leadership. We partner with some of the largest and most complex mining, offshore and remote operations in the market, delivering essential services where safety and wellbeing truly matter.

We are seeking an experienced and values‑led Senior Safety Manager across the East Coast of Australia to help shape safer, healthier and more inclusive workplaces across these environments.

This is a highly influential leadership role, ideal for a safety professional who is passionate about developing leaders, empowering teams, and embedding a strong safety culture across geographically dispersed and operationally complex sites.

About the Role

You will work closely with Executive Directors, General Managers and operational leaders across large‑scale mining, offshore and remote, health care and Chartwells portfolios to drive sustainable safety outcomes.

You will lead a team of safety professionals and play a pivotal role in strengthening Our Safety Culture, supporting leaders at every level to understand risk, lead with care, and take ownership of safety outcomes.

This role offers a blend of strategic influence and hands‑on leadership, with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives every day.

This role is based in the Brisbane office, offering a hybrid arrangement whilst also requiring regular travel to sites across the East Coast of Australia.

What You’ll Be Known For

Building trusted partnerships with senior leaders and operational teams
Coaching senior leaders to confidently lead safety through visible, values‑based behaviours
Creating safe, inclusive environments where people feel supported and heard
Driving practical, scalable safety solutions that work in real‑world operations
Developing capable safety professionals and future leaders

Key Responsibilities

Partner with Executive Directors and General Managers to drive continuous safety improvement
Coach leaders at all levels to embed Our Safety Culture and lead safety with care and accountability
Lead and develop a high‑performing team of safety professionals
Strengthen food safety, allergen management, and critical risk controls across operations
Support safe mobilisations for new sites and growth initiatives
Drive effective hazard identification, risk management, and incident investigations
Ensure lessons learned are shared and embedded across the business
Oversee compliance with Compass Group and our various client HSEQ requirements
Contribute to tender and client engagement activities by demonstrating strong safety capability
Support ongoing certification to Australian and international HSEQ standards

Who You’ll Work With

You will collaborate closely with:

Australian Leadership Team (ALT) members and General Managers
Safety & Risk leadership and communities of practice
People & Safety teams and Shared Services
Operations and site leaders across Australia
Clients and external stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for a leader who balances technical expertise with empathy, influence and strong communication.

You will ideally bring:

10+ years’ experience leading safety in large‑scale, remote or complex environments
Proven ability to influence senior leaders and build trusted partnerships
Experience implementing and improving HSEQ systems across multi‑site operations
Strong knowledge of WHS legislation and HACCP
A people‑centred leadership style with a genuine care for wellbeing
Relevant WHS qualifications (Degree/Diploma and/or Cert IV WHS)
Confidence using data analytics and insights to inform decision‑making
Ability to build strong rapport across a diverse set of both internal and external stakeholders, clients and other relevant industry associations and bodies

Your First 12 Months Will Focus On

Partnering with senior leaders to deliver sector safety plans and targeted initiatives
Reducing food contamination, allergen risks, injuries and illnesses
Strengthening safety support models for complex and remote operations
Building risk identification and root‑cause capability across leadership teams
Establishing clear and meaningful safety lead indicators

Why Join Us?

At Compass Group, you’ll find:

A workplace where safety leadership is genuinely valued
