Melrose Built is a growing Tier 2 commercial builder delivering multi-storey new builds and high-quality commercial projects across South-East Queensland. We are strengthening our site safety capability and are looking for a capable HSEQ Advisor who is ready to step into more responsibility and be mentored into a future HSEQ Manager.

If you want a role where you can be hands-on on site, influence culture, and also take ownership of our IMS and legislative updates, this is a genuine growth opportunity.

What you will do

• Support safety across new-build and multi-storey construction projects
• Conduct site inspections, audits and high-risk activity verifications
• Coach Site Managers, Foremen and trade partners in hazard ID and safe behaviours
• Lead incident investigations and corrective actions through to close-out
• Own and maintain the Integrated Management System (IMS) including document updates
• Monitor changes to WHS legislation, Codes of Practice and ISO requirements and update systems accordingly
• Support the development and rollout of new HSEQ processes, tools and training
• Prepare safety reporting, insights and trends for leadership
• Support workers’ compensation, early intervention and RTW processes
• Be a visible, trusted and approachable safety presence on site

About you

• 5–10 years in construction HSEQ (Tier 2 or 3 preferred)
• Experience in new builds and multi-storey environments
• Diploma WHS (or Cert IV WHS with strong experience)
• Confident supporting high-risk activities and contractor safety
• Great communicator who builds rapport quickly with site teams
• Interested in systems, compliance and continuous improvement
• Keen to grow into a leadership role and eventually step into HSEQ Manager
• Practical, solutions-focused, and comfortable working across several sites

Why this role is different

• You will receive mentoring from senior leaders to build readiness for a future HSEQ Manager role
• You will own the IMS and help shape how safety is delivered across the business
• You will become the internal subject matter expert on legislative updates and ISO alignment
• You’ll get exposure to strategy, not just site inspections
• You’ll help build a high-performing safety culture from the ground up

Why join Melrose Built?

• Growing builder with a strong project pipeline
• Genuine opportunity to step into a leadership role
• Collaborative and supportive environment with no egos
• Role with influence and visibility across the business
• Ability to make meaningful improvements to systems, culture and compliance
• Access to extended leave options under our Melrose Leave framework
• Competitive parental leave available after 12 months of employment
