Join Ventia in Toowoomba as an experienced Safety (SHEQ) Advisor supporting our Rig and Well Services contract, working across multiple sites in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. This is a roaming role where you'll travel between rigs and operational sites across remote Queensland, providing hands‐on safety support where it's needed most.
You'll work closely with crews and leaders to maintain high safety standards, influence behaviours, and ensure compliance across diverse and ever‐changing worksites. We're looking for a confident and adaptable safety professional with a strong background in high‐risk industries such as construction, mining, energy, or heavy industry. Oil & gas experience is not essential but the ability to step into new environments and quickly build trust is key.
This role offers a 15/13 FIFO roster (12‐hour days), with Toowoomba as the point of hire, and a competitive day rate of $603.20 - $696.45 (pending experience).

- Strong Safety Culture: Join a business committed to continuous improvement and high safety standards.
What You'll Do
- Provide on-the-ground safety support across multiple sites and crews.
- Partner with supervisors and frontline teams to embed safe work practices.
- Conduct site inspections, audits, and assurance activities across varying locations.
- Lead and support incident investigations, identifying root causes and corrective actions.
- Act as a trusted advisor, coaching and influencing teams to strengthen safety behaviours.
- Ensure consistent implementation of Ventia's SHEQ systems and processes in a dynamic environment.
What We're Looking For
