Location: Hove, South Australia
Pay Rate: $50–$60 per hour (including casual loading), based on experience
Duration: 18-month project with genuine temp-to-perm opportunity

Take the Lead in Safety on a Landmark Project

We are seeking a proactive and experienced Health & Safety Officer (HSO) to join our client's highly regarded construction company on a major development project in Hove, SA. Backed by a strong reputation in the industry, our client is known for delivering high-quality projects, prioritising safety, and fostering a positive, collaborative team environment.

This is your chance to step into a leadership role on a project at its early stages and play a key part in shaping the safety culture from the ground up. With a strong 18-month pipeline and the potential for a long-term future with a top-tier builder, this role offers more than just a paycheck — it offers career progression, autonomy, and impact.

What You'll Be Doing
As the site HSO, you will be the go-to person for all things safety. You’ll work closely with site management and subcontractors to ensure the safety of every person who steps onto site — and you’ll be empowered to influence real change. Your responsibilities will include:

Managing and maintaining site safety, compliance, and safety culture

Inducting all staff and contractors and ensuring safe site access daily

Keeping all personnel and subcontractors compliant on safety management software

Overseeing all documentation and compliance processes, including SWMS

Collaborating with the broader project team to identify and implement improvements

Supporting the site team with hands-on assistance and labouring tasks where needed

Operating machinery (telehandler, forklift, etc.), if licensed — highly regarded

What We're Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is confident, reliable, and passionate about creating safe worksites. You’ll bring:

Previous experience as an HSO or similar safety role in construction

Solid understanding of WHS legislation and on-site compliance systems

Strong communication skills to liaise with subcontractors and staff

Ability to lead safety from the front while being a team player

Tickets to operate plant equipment (desirable but not essential)

A “can-do” attitude and willingness to pitch in when needed

Strong reliability, punctual and a commitment to full-time hours — we need someone who’s ready to show up consistently and see the project through

What’s In It for You?

Competitive hourly rate: $50–$60/hour including casual loading

Work with a respected builder on a high-profile project

Long-term project with job security and consistency

Be part of a supportive, values-driven team culture

Gain exposure to all phases of a large construction development
