Maintain and report on safety and quality performance metrics

Conduct site safety audits and risk assessments

Manage training records, inductions, and return-to-work programs

Support and maintain ISO 45001 and ISO 9001 compliance

Represent Legion Drilling with clients and regulators

What We’re Looking For

Strong experience in WHS or HSEQ roles, ideally in drilling, mining, or heavy industry

Proven ability in risk management, incident analysis, and continuous improvement

Confident using data and systems to track performance and guide actions

Solid knowledge of ISO 45001 & 9001 frameworks

Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills

We’re fast-moving, forward-thinking, and ready to bring on someone who wants to take ownership of safety and training across our business.
