ABOUT US

Abergeldie is a majority locally owned contractor with 30 years’ industry experience in Australia and New Zealand. We design and deliver projects in the Water, Bridges, Transport, Underground, Energy and Remediation industry sectors.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking for a Head of Safety Operations to lead safety across all areas of Abergeldie. This role has an ANZ remit, supporting projects and teams across Australia and New Zealand, and will require regular interstate travel (and similarly, at times to New Zealand). Reporting to the General Manager for Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability, you’ll oversee a team of ANZ Safety Managers and Safety Advisors, guiding them to deliver best-practice safety outcomes across our sites and operations.
This is a key senior leadership position, driving the strategies, systems, and culture that keep our people safe, ensure compliance, and enable sustainable project delivery. You’ll strengthen how safety is managed across the business - embedding practical processes, clear expectations and risk-based approaches that help our teams work safely every day.
You’ll be a trusted partner and leader to our delivery teams, ensuring safety is built into planning and delivery, whilst meeting our legal, regulatory and client obligations. Working closely with our HSES leadership, you’ll champion proactive risk management, lead safety culture initiatives and oversee safety performance across multiple sites and projects. You’ll also ensure our safety systems align with ISO certifications, legislation, and industry best practice.
