Job Details

If a successful audit excites you, own quality, compliance and ESG for a growing manufacturer, as part of a small safety team

The Short Version

Quality, Compliance & Sustainability Officer | Safety Team | St Marys | $105,000 - $125,000 + Super

If you love it when an audit passes cleanly, and compliance, registers and getting every detail right actually excites you, this is worth a read. I've partnered with a growing manufacturer in Western Sydney handing someone genuine ownership of its workplace safety, compliance and sustainability systems. This will be your function to run.

Why This One's Worth A Look

This role's been built with your next few years in mind, not just the next twelve months. It comes with genuine ownership from day one, and a business that will fund whatever additional courses get you there.

• Clear pathway into safety compliance leadership within a few years

• Salary Range: $105,000 to $125,000 + Super

• St Marys, Western Sydney. Onsite 5 days a week, Mon-Fri.

• A growing manufacturer investing seriously in its compliance function

• Genuine ownership of quality, compliance and sustainability from day one

• Backed by a highly experienced Safety Manager

You've already run internal audits and had some exposure to external ones, ISO 9001, 14001 or 45001, not product or technical quality. This isn't a first step into compliance, you're ready to own the function, not just administer it.

The Impact You'd Make

The best compliance work is invisible, audits pass smoothly, registers are always current, and nothing catches the business off guard. You'll be the person who makes that look easy, owning the systems that keep this manufacturer genuinely compliant, not just paper compliant.

• Run the internal audit program and coordinate external audits across ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001

• Own quality traceability, certification evidence and the corrective action register

• Build out ESG, modern slavery and sustainability reporting as customer requirements grow

• Build toward Management Review and Board reporting, with genuine scope to take full ownership over time

As the business grows, so does the scope of what you own, this role won't stay the same shape for long.

What You'll Bring

You'll need genuine experience in workplace safety, compliance, governance, risk or audit, this is not a technical or product quality background.

Backgrounds from outside manufacturing are welcome, as long as the compliance and audit experience is genuinely there.

• At least 3-5 years' experience in workplace safety, compliance, risk or audit

• Confident running internal audits, with some exposure to external audits (ISO 9001, 14001 or 45001)

• A Cert IV in WHS (or you're close to completing it)

• Internal Auditor training, or a Diploma in Quality, Compliance or Environmental Management would be beneficial, or you're happy to undertake any further training

• Confident with Microsoft Office and comfortable creating training or induction content, Canva experience is a bonus

You lead with helpfulness, not authority, this isn't a role for someone who wants to police compliance

Who You'd Be Working With

You'll join a small, close-knit safety and compliance team, reporting to a Safety Manager with genuinely deep industry experience who trains, supports and develops their team. Day to day, you're consulting across the whole business.

• Production, warehouse and office teams across the business

• Your safety counterpart, who owns machine safety, risk registers and floor operations

• External consultants and third-party providers

• Regulatory and certification bodies as required
