About the role

Looking to put your safety expertise to work on a major renewable energy project without leaving the Townsville region?

DT Infrastructure is seeking an experienced Senior Health & Safety Advisor to join our team delivering the Majors Creek Project, located near Woodstock, approximately 40km south of Townsville.

Reporting to the Health & Safety Manager, you'll provide senior-level safety advice and practical support to construction teams, supervisors and subcontractors. You'll play an important role in implementing project H&S management systems, strengthening risk management practices and ensuring safety remains front of mind throughout construction.

This is a hands-on site role where you'll work closely with frontline leaders to identify and manage risks, conduct inspections and audits, support incident investigations and drive continuous improvement. You'll also have the opportunity to mentor less experienced H&S practitioners and contribute to a positive, proactive safety culture across the project.
