Two newly created opportunities

• Health & Safety Advisor – Fresh (Yatala, QLD)
• Health & Safety Advisor – Ambient (Ingleburn, NSW)

At Real Pet Food Company (RPF), we believe that when we Feed Fresher, we Live Better. And that belief extends beyond the nutrition we create for pets. It’s also about creating a workplace where our people can go home safe and well every day.

We’re growing, we’re ambitious, and we’re challenging the way the world thinks about pet nutrition. With a clear focus on growing our Cat and Pet Specialty businesses, continuing to lead the market in Fresh Pet Nutrition, and spearheading our expansion into Asia, we’re investing in the people and capabilities that will help us get there.

That’s where you come in!

We have two newly created Health & Safety Advisor opportunities, one focused on Fresh Product Manufacturing and the other on Ambient Product Manufacturing

Both roles are integral to our strategic growth and reflect an important commitment: as we grow our business, we will continue to raise the bar when it comes to the health, safety and wellbeing of our people.

Reporting to the Head of Quality & Safety you’ll work closely with operational leaders and frontline teams to embed safety into everyday operations. These roles offer the opportunity to influence, challenge and drive meaningful improvements in environments where safety matters every single day.

What will you be doing?

This is not a role where you’ll be sitting behind a desk waiting for safety issues to come to you. Our manufacturing environments are busy, hands-on and fast-paced, with end-to-end production processes, high-speed equipment and machinery, and the complexities that come with food manufacturing.

You’ll be out on the floor, building relationships, partnering with leaders and frontline teams, identifying risks, delivering risk reduction projects and helping turn good safety intentions into everyday actions.

Working closely with Operations, Maintenance, Quality and our broader People & Culture team, you’ll help embed safety into the way we work — not as an added step, but as an essential part of how we deliver great outcomes.

You’ll play an important role in:

• Partnering with site leaders and frontline teams to strengthen safety ownership and accountability.
• Being visible on the floor, identifying hazards and working collaboratively to implement practical, effective controls.
• Supporting risk assessments, incident investigations and corrective actions, with a focus on learning, prevention and continuous improvement.
• Helping leaders build their capability and confidence to manage safety as part of their everyday responsibilities.
• Monitoring safety performance, identifying trends and translating data into meaningful action.
• Supporting compliance with relevant WHS legislation, standards and company requirements.
• Leading risk reduction projects to further embed safety into our every day ways of working
• Challenging the status quo, improving processes and helping create an environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up and look out for one another.

Above all, you’ll help make safety part of our culture — where doing the right thing is simply how we do things.

Two roles. Two manufacturing environments. One shared ambition.

Health & Safety Advisor – Fresh

Location: Yatala, Queensland

Reporting to: Head of Quality & Safety

Travel: Weekly Travel to Game Meat Processing based at Wulkuraka

Fresh is at the heart of our business and a key pillar of our growth strategy. Our Fresh manufacturing environments work with raw protein and short shelf-life products, where timing, coordination and operational pace are critical.

These are dynamic, hands-on environments where decisions need to be made quickly, risks need to be managed proactively, and safety must keep pace with production.

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring previous experience in a food manufacturing environment, ideally a wet processing environment where raw protein is a key ingredient. Experience working with short shelf-life products is essential to working across multiple sites building/improving safety culture, along with the ability to hit the ground running and build credibility quickly with operational teams.

• Based at our Yatala site, you’ll also travel to our GMP operation at Wulkuraka once a week, building
