Support the development and implementation of guidance documents for employer wellness programs tailored to the needs of construction, mining, and resources industry clients
Co-operate with management in its fulfilment of regulatory obligations to WH&S (psychosocial) legislation, with awareness of sector-specific compliance requirements
About you

Proven experience with development and delivery of psychological support programs related to workplace psychological hazards and/or travel-related risk assessment
Ability to travel domestically, including to remote or site-based locations if required
Exposure to and experience working within blue collar industries and workforce environments
Demonstrated understanding of the cultural and psychological dynamics unique to trade, labour, and field-based workforces
