Corporate HSE Manager

About the Owner
TS Staffing are delighted to be partnering with Yilgarn Iron on the restart of the Yilgarn Iron Ore Hub, encompassing the Koolyanobbing, Windarling, and Parker Range assets.

The operation was recently acquired and is being transitioned back into production, with mining and processing activities to be undertaken by contractors.

About the Role
We’re seeking a Corporate HSE Manager with proven experience working for a mine owner, not just contractors. You’ll understand the legislative and regulatory obligations that sit with the Principal Employer and be confident in setting up frameworks to ensure compliance across owner and contractor operations.

This role requires someone who can build systems from the ground up — not just maintain existing ones. You’ll lead a team of six and play a pivotal role in shaping how Yilgarn manages health, safety, and environmental management performance from mobilisation through to steady-state production.

Lead, coach, and support a small team of Safety and Environmental Advisors

Build the interface between owner and contractor systems, ensuring alignment and effective governance

Coordinate internal audits, inspections, and regulatory interactions

Manage critical risk frameworks, investigations, and statutory reporting

Lead the development of environmental compliance systems and approval instrument requirements.

Work closely with the executive and operational teams to embed a proactive safety and sustainability culture

Provide strategic input to leadership on HSE performance, risk, and improvement

What We’re Looking For

The minimum of a degree (essential) in Health and Safety or Environmental. Masters preferred.

Significant experience in mining, within a mine owner or operator environment

Experience engaging with DMIRS and other regulators

Strong understanding of WA WHS (Mines) Regulations and statutory obligations

Demonstrated ability to build HSE systems, processes, and teams from start-up phase

Balanced leadership style — credible, pragmatic, and collaborative

Strong reporting, analysis, and risk management capability
