HSEQ Coordinator

The Opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity for a Zero Harm Coordinator to join Downer's Water business in South East Queensland.

This is a unique opportunity for an emerging safety professional to work alongside experienced Zero Harm leaders across some of Queensland's largest water infrastructure programs, supporting clients including Urban Utilities and Logan Water Partnership.

The role is focused on regional systems, governance and operational enablement, helping to strengthen consistency, efficiency and safety performance across multiple programs. Working closely with Program Safety Leads and operational teams, you will contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, support regional safety systems and reporting, coordinate learning and assurance activities, and help drive a strong and positive safety culture.

For the right candidate, this role provides a clear pathway into future Zero Harm Advisor opportunities while developing practical experience in safety leadership, systems improvement, governance, data analytics and project delivery.

What You'll Be Doing

• Working regularly from our Qantas Drive regional office, and Logan Water and Urban Utilities client offices in the region.
• Supporting the implementation and continuous improvement of Downer's HSE systems and processes across the SEQ Water portfolio.
• Coordinating regional safety programs, initiatives and improvement projects.
• Supporting learning teams, workshops, inductions and capability-building activities.
• Monitoring and maintaining the quality and integrity of training, competency and compliance systems.
• Assisting with assurance activities including audits, inspections and governance reviews.
• Analysing safety performance data and preparing reports and insights that support informed decision making.
• Identifying opportunities to streamline processes, standardise tools and improve ways of working.
• Providing regional support to operational teams and helping deliver practical safety solutions.
• Partnering with project teams and stakeholders to strengthen safety outcomes and operational performance.
• Supporting field HSE Advisor teams, in the field on Adhoc basis.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an organised and proactive individual who is passionate about creating safer workplaces and driven to accelerate their career in Health, Safety and Environment. You'll bring a continuous improvement mindset, strong attention to detail, and a willingness to learn from experienced safety professionals while contributing to meaningful safety outcomes across major infrastructure programs.

You may be an early-career safety professional, a coordinator looking to step up, or someone with operational experience seeking a pathway into safety leadership.

You'll bring:

• A genuine passion for health, safety and continuous improvement.
• Strong organisational and coordination skills.
• The ability to analyse information and turn data into meaningful insights.
• Confidence working with systems, processes and technology.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• A willingness to learn, adapt and contribute across multiple projects and programs.
• A collaborative mindset and desire to support operational teams to succeed.
• A positive, proactive attitude and strong desire to learn, develop and build a long-term career in Health, Safety and Environment.

Why Downer?

At Downer, our Zero Harm professionals are more than compliance specialists. We partner with our operational teams to solve problems, improve systems and help people go home safe every day.

In this role you'll gain exposure to diverse water infrastructure projects, work alongside experienced safety leaders, contribute to meaningful regional initiatives and build the skills and experience needed to progress your career within one of Australia's leading infrastructure businesses.
