If you are the kind of safety professional who would rather be out talking with operators and understanding their challenges - helping them make better decisions, this role deserves your attention.
Based at a well-established hard-rock quarry in Lower Hutt, you will partner with operational leaders and frontline teams to strengthen safety culture, improve critical risk management and make a genuine difference to how work gets done.

Why Consider This Role?
This is an established quarry with a long-term future and ongoing investment. With changes across the operational team, there's an opportunity to work alongside leaders to strengthen expectations, improve consistency and build a more proactive safety culture.
