We are seeking an experienced Safety Advisor to join our site-based team in Austral, supporting the delivery of Sydney Water’s Creek Connect project.

This role requires a minimum of 5+ years’ experience in a similar safety-focused position, ideally within the infrastructure or water utilities sector. You will play a key role in ensuring safe work practices on site, partnering closely with project teams to uphold high standards of compliance, risk management and site safety culture.

CreekConnect – Supporting Western Sydney’s Growth!

Be part of a large-scale, long-term joint venture between Seymour Whyte and Jacobs, awarded by Sydney Water as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) project. As the region expands, so does the need for sustainable and resilient water solutions. The Upper South Creek Network will feature new wastewater pumping stations and gravity carriers, with the first work stage beginning before the year's end. The project also emphasises safety, digital engineering, and compliance with the latest standards, ensuring it meets future needs effectively.

About Seymour Whyte:

We are a successful civil contracting business that has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

As a progressive, leading civil engineering firm built on the strong foundations of our unique history, we engage, enable and empower our people to be better. With you, we are altogether stronger, in building the future we want. 

About the Role:

• Ensure compliance with company WHS policies, procedures and training requirements.
• Mentor and support site personnel to improve health, safety and overall site performance.
• Assist Project Managers with implementing and maintaining safety systems, plans and procedures.
• Conduct site inspections and audits, providing clear feedback and safety improvement recommendations.
• Lead or support incident investigations and advise on corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Promote a transparent, proactive safety culture while staying current with legislation, standards and industry best practice.

About you:

• Diploma or Certificate IV in Work Health & Safety, and Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (highly desirable)
• Current First Aid and Return-to-Work Certification
• Minimum 5+ years’ experience in civil construction or a related field
• Demonstrate high regard and understanding of safety principles
• Ability to build good rapport with Leading Hands, Supervisors, Sub-Contractors, Site Managers
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills
• Current C-Class Driver’s Licence

Company Benefits:

• Health & Wellbeing – discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, wellness discounts, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).

• Time for life / Work life balance – birthday leave, purchased leave program, paid parental leave and flexible work arrangements.
• Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
• Career development – training, mentoring programs, and leadership development program.

Many of our projects are not accessible via public transport and require travel between and within active construction sites. As a result, a current Driver’s Licence and the ability to drive on site are essential.

Seymour Whyte is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds, including veterans. Our commitment to an equitable construction industry extends to an inclusive culture that embraces our differences and gives everyone the opportunity to grow and be equally valued. We're unified in our direction toward having a workplace that is balanced and fair for all.
