FIFO – Surat Basin from Brisbane
$200,000 + 15% Uplift + Progression + Super
Lead HSE across a major long-term energy infrastructure project with genuine influence
Excellent opportunity for an ambitious Senior HSE professional looking to step into a high-profile management role with a business that genuinely invests in its people
The Company
This leading infrastructure and energy contractor delivers major projects across the oil & gas, energy and civil sectors throughout Australia. With a strong pipeline of long-term work, including major projects for some of Australia's largest energy providers, the business continues to grow while maintaining a genuine commitment to developing and retaining its people.
Backed by an ambitious national group and with a strong leadership team that prioritises safety from the executive level down, they are now looking to appoint an HSE Manager to lead safety and environmental performance on a major long-term project.
The Role
In this role you will lead the HSE function across a large, geographically dispersed project, providing strategic leadership while remaining visible and engaged with operational teams. You'll oversee a multidisciplinary HSE team, support project leadership, and ensure the highest standards of safety, environmental compliance and continuous improvement are maintained.
This is a leadership role that requires someone who can influence rather than police, building strong relationships with Project Managers, Superintendents, Site Managers and client representatives to create genuine buy-in across the project. While compliance and legislative knowledge are essential, this is not a purely desk-based management role. The successful candidate will ideally be a bit of an all-rounder, happy to spend some time in the field supporting the team and the operation.
Working on a long-term project with a 19:9 FIFO roster, travel time included in the 19, this is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious HSE professional looking to take the next step into a significant leadership position with excellent long-term career prospects.

Requirements
- Experience in an HSE Manager or Senior HSE leadership role
- Background within Oil & Gas, Mining, Heavy Civil, Heavy Construction or Heavy Industry
- Strong understanding of HSE legislation, compliance and environmental management
- Experience leading multidisciplinary HSE teams across complex, dispersed operations
- Ability to influence senior operational stakeholders and build strong site relationships
- ICAM or equivalent investigation training
- Willingness to work a 19:9 FIFO roster
Benefits
- $200,000 base salary plus 15% uplift
- Long-term flagship project with a 5-10 year pipeline of work
- Strong culture of internal promotion and career development
- Ongoing professional development and supported training pathways
