With a national footprint, strong customer partnerships and a focus on safety, service and long-term growth, we offer genuine opportunities for our people to develop their careers.

About The Role Reporting to the Head of Operational Risk, this role provides centralised administrative support across the compliance, competency and record-keeping activities of the Risk and Safety functions of our Australian and New Zealand businesses.

You will support a broad range of administration activities, including training coordination, licence and competency records, contractor compliance, apprentice program administration, safety system updates, reporting and general team support.

This role would suit someone with a couple of years’ administration experience who is confident communicating with others, comfortable using spreadsheets and cloud-based systems, and enjoys keeping information accurate, organised and up to date.

In an average week in the life of this role, you might:

• Schedule, book and coordinate safety and technical training with RTOs and external providers
• Manage training confirmations, calendar invitations, joining instructions and attendance records
• Maintain accurate training, licensing and competency records across branches in Australia and New Zealand
• Monitor licence, ticket and competency expiries, including high-risk work licences

• Confidence communicating by phone and email with internal teams, customers, suppliers and external providers
• Good computer skills, including Microsoft Office, Outlook, Excel and Word
• The ability to manage a varied workload, follow up information and keep tasks moving
• A positive, professional and friendly approach
