Our client is an established HR and safety business that specialises in agriculture. They help farmers and rural businesses build safer, more compliant workplaces. Their approach combines hands on coaching with a web and mobile safety platform, so safety can be managed from the office, the shed or the paddock.

Our client already has a strong client base in Perth and Western Australia and is now growing on the east coast. They're looking for a tech savvy WHS Advisor based in Albury to support agricultural clients across southern NSW and north east Victoria and to look after clients in Perth.

About the role

You'll work with family farms, mixed cropping and livestock operations, and agribusinesses on both sides of the country. Clients in NSW and Victoria will get a mix of on site visits and virtual support. Perth clients will be serviced remotely by video conference and through the platform. You'll be part coach, part compliance expert and part tech guide. You'll explain what the law requires in plain language and show clients how the technology makes safety easier.

What you'll be doing

  • Servicing clients in NSW, Victoria and WA. You'll manage relationships with clients across all three states, in person locally and through video conference and the platform.
  • Onboarding clients onto the web and mobile platform. You'll set up their safety systems, configure the platform to suit each operation, and get owners, managers and workers using it with confidence.
  • Coaching clients on the technology. You'll show people who aren't always comfortable with tech how to complete inspections, report hazards and incidents, and manage records from their phone or computer.
  • Troubleshooting and supporting users so clients stay engaged and get the most out of the platform.
  • Coaching agricultural clients through safety implementation. You'll work one on one with farm owners and supervisors to put practical, workable safety systems in place.
  • Tackling high risk farm hazards such as machinery, vehicles and quad bikes, livestock handling, chemicals, working at heights, fatigue, and seasonal and casual workforces.
  • Delivering refresher training by video conference, so busy rural clients can keep up to date without leaving the property.
  • Driving compliance. You'll make sure client systems meet NSW and WA WHS legislation, Victorian OHS legislation and best practice.
  • Managing a portfolio of client projects from start to successful completion.
  • Improving the platform. You'll pass on client feedback and ideas to help shape the platform and the safety program.

What you'll bring

  • A formal WHS qualification. At minimum a Diploma of Work Health and Safety (BSB51319) or equivalent, or a degree in WHS or OHS.
  • Strong digital skills. You pick up new software quickly, you're comfortable on web and mobile apps, and you enjoy helping others get the hang of them.
