HSEQ & Compliance Advisor

HSEQ & COMPLIANCE ADVISOR

Own the function. Influence the operation. Make a difference.

• Basin Sands Logistics (BSL)
• Broken Hill, Far West & North Central NSW

Tired of being the person who just maintains the paperwork?

This could be the role you're looking for.

Basin Sands Logistics (BSL) is an established regional Australian logistics and mining services business headquartered in Broken Hill.

We operate heavy vehicles, road trains, mobile plant, workshops, materials handling equipment and mining/civil operations across regional NSW.

We're looking for an experienced HSE & Compliance Advisor who wants more than a traditional safety officer position.

We want someone who will take ownership of HSE across the business, get into the operation, identify the risks, fix the problems and influence how work is done.

This is a hands‐on role with genuine access to senior management and the opportunity to build and improve the systems you are responsible for.

THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO OWN HSE

You won't be sitting in an office waiting for someone to give you a checklist.

You'll be working directly with

• Heavy vehicle drivers
• Plant and equipment operators
• Workshop and maintenance personnel
• Supervisors and managers
• Contractors
• Mine and operational teams

You'll see the work first hand, identify the risks and work with the people doing the job to make it safer and more effective.

• Your role will cover the full HSE and operational compliance spectrum, including:
• WHS & Risk
• Lead operational risk assessments
• Develop and review JHAs, JSEAs, SWMS and other critical risk documentation
• Maintain and continually improve the company's risk register
• Identify critical risks and verify that controls are actually working
• Conduct workplace inspections and safety observations
• ICAM Investigations for incidents, near misses and hazards
• Drive corrective actions through to completion
• Drug & Alcohol

You will take ownership of BSL's Drug & Alcohol program, including

• Pre-employment testing
• Random testing
• For-cause testing
• Testing schedules and coordination
• Record management
• Chain-of-custody processes
• Follow-up actions and compliance
• Compliance
• Maintain the HSE compliance framework
• Monitor legislative and regulatory requirements
• Maintain compliance registers
• Conduct internal audits
• Prepare the business for external audits and regulatory inspections
• Manage contractor compliance
• Maintain site and operational documentation
• People & Culture
• Deliver inductions and toolbox talks
• Maintain training and competency systems
• Work with supervisors to improve safety leadership
• Engage directly with the workforce
• Help build a proactive reporting and safety culture
• Injury Management
• Coordinate injury management
• Support return-to-work processes
• Liaise with workers, managers and external providers
• Monitor claims and identify opportunities to reduce lost time and improve outcomes
• Continuous Improvement

This is where we expect you to add real value.

We want you to identify opportunities to

• Simplify systems
• Remove unnecessary paperwork
• Improve risk controls
• Improve workforce engagement
• Reduce operational risk
• Improve compliance
• Strengthen management reporting

If you see a better way of doing something, we want you to implement it.

WE WANT AN OPERATOR — NOT A PAPER PUSHER

You may be right for this role if you've previously thought

\"There has to be a better way of doing this.\"

You understand that a 20-page procedure sitting in a folder doesn't make anyone safer.

You know the difference between compliance on paper and compliance in the field.

You can walk into a workshop, depot or operational site and have a conversation with a driver, fitter or operator just as comfortably as you can sit down with management and discuss risk.

You aren't afraid to challenge unsafe behaviour.

You aren't afraid to challenge management when something isn't right.

And you don't walk away from a problem until it's fixed.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You'll ideally bring

• Cert IV WHS or higher
• Demonstrated experience in HSE/WHS, safety or compliance
• Experience in transport, logistics, mining, civil construction, heavy industry or another high‐risk environment
• Strong practical risk assessment capability
• Incident investigation experience
• Drug & Alcohol program experience
• Audit and compliance experience
• Strong understanding and/or knowledge of WHS Mining Regulations (NSW)
• Excellent communication skills
• Strong organisational skills
• The ability to work independently

More importantly...

We're looking for capability, judgement and attitude.

You don't need to have spent your career working for a Tier 1 mining company.

In fact, experience working in an SME or regional operation may be a significant advantage.

We need someone who can walk through the door, understand the business and take ownership.

WHY BSL? Genuine autonomy

You will have the opportunity to take ownership of the HSE function rather than simply administer someone else's system.

Direct access to management

You will work closely with senior management and have the opportunity to influence operational decisions.

Variety

Heavy vehicles. Road trains. Workshops. Mobile plant. Logistics. Mining. Civil operations. Multiple sites.

You'll never be bored.

Make a visible difference

You'll be able to see the results of your work across the operation.

Regional lifestyle

Live and work in Broken Hill — one of Australia's most distinctive regional communities — without the constant FIFO/DIDO cycle.

THE FIRST 12 MONTHS

We aren't expecting you to simply maintain what already exists.

Your first 12 months will be about understanding, strengthening and improving the HSE function.

We expect you to

• First 90 days
• Understand our operations and critical risks
• Establish relationships with supervisors and workforce
• Review existing HSE systems
• Identify gaps and immediate priorities
• Establish a clear HSE improvement plan
• 3–6 months
