Visy is powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, recycling and remanufacturing. We believe materials are not truly recycled until they’re made into something new—and it all starts with Visy Recycling. As Australia’s largest recycler, our extensive network of recycling operations is integrated with our manufacturing sites. We collect and sort recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals from households and businesses, and locally remanufacture them back into new, sustainable packaging.
As our Environment Health and Safety Advisor, you'll be at the forefront of maintaining and enhancing our safety culture across Visy Recycling sites in Queensland. Reporting to the QLD Operations Manager and collaborating with both plant leaders and the National HSE team, you'll ensure compliance with Visy’s high safety standards and regulatory requirements. Based at our Gibson Island, Murarrie site, you’ll be key to creating a safer, more innovative work environment.
What you'll do:
- Promote and drive the desired safety culture, values and expected behaviour.
- Develop business relationships to engage multiple stakeholders within the recycling division.
- Partner with Site Managers and front-line Supervisors and provide subject matter advice and guidance.
- Mentor and coach site leadership to manage and implement safety programs.
- Coordinate WH&S training for relevant staff in areas such as incident investigations, risk assessments and internal audits.
- Ensure Injuries and incidents are investigated, and corrective actions implemented.
- Ensure safety targets are being met.
- Administration of WH&S data management systems.
- Represent the organisation during major safety audits.
What You Will Bring:
- A degree in WHS/OHS, environmental science, or a related field.

- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to coach, influence, and collaborate across all levels.
