• Strong ability to write policy and process documents and strategies
• Strong understanding of HSWA and overlapping PCBU duties, with the ability to analyse complex situations and explain them clearly to diverse audiences
• Strong ability to present, engage and challenge at board and executive level
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, you build trust and secure buy-in rather than relying on “tick box” compliance
