Safety Coordinator

Take ownership of safety across a portfolio of large, high-rise apartment projects working as the Safety Officer for this major Tier 2 Property Development and Construction Group. You’ll be the on-site safety lead across this fast-moving Parramatta site — driving practical controls, coaching supervisors and subcontractors, and delivering real reductions in risk day-to-day. If you want a hands-on role where your decisions shape how these towers are built and people go home safely, this is it.

The role:

Hands-on Safety Officer — own day-to-day WHS on tall high-rise towers: inspections, practical SWMS/permits, working-at-heights & temporary-works, cranage/rigging, incident investigation and keeping the site audit-ready.

Key responsibilities

• Walk the site daily — identify hazards and drive timely corrective actions
• Prepare, review and enforce SWMS, PTWs and Construction Safety Plans that crews actually follow
• Run the working-at-heights program: edge protection, harness systems, daily checks and rescue plans
• Manage scaffold interfaces, temporary works coordination and cranage/lifting plans for tower lifts
• Oversee EWP use, rigging, traffic management and high-risk task controls
• Deliver inductions and toolbox talks; keep induction/training records up to date
• Lead incident/near-miss investigations: do root cause, implement fixes and ensure close-out
• Pre-qualify and hold subcontractors to account; coach supervisors and crews for real improvement
• Maintain safety registers, inspection logs and audit evidence for clients and regulators
• Give practical safety input into planning, programme and procurement to remove risk early

About you — must haves

• Real, proven experience on large scale residential towers
• 3+ years in a site safety role on medium/large projects (high-rise experience essential)
• Practical, decisive and site-visible — you get compliance without constant escalation
• Strong incident investigation and root-cause capability
• Excellent communicator who can influence supervisors and subcontractors on site

Qualifications & training

• Essential: Construction White Card, Current First Aid, Cert IV WHS (or equivalent practical experience)
• Preferred: Working at Heights / Harness, EWP, Rigging/Dogman, Diploma WHS, Confined Space, Asbestos Awareness, ISO45001 familiarity

What success looks like

• A measurable drop in reportable incidents and near misses, and timely close-out of corrective actions
• A trusted, visible safety presence on site and improved subcontractor engagement and inspection outcomes
