HSE Manager
Job no: 50002743
Work type: Full Time
Location: Brisbane
Role Details
This is a key HSE leadership role supporting Visy’s Queensland operations, with a primary focus on our Paper Recycling and Logistics business units. Based mainly at our Gibson Island site, you’ll spend your time influencing safety performance across a defined portfolio of Brisbane-based sites, typically working three days at Gibson Island and two days visiting other sites.
Reporting to the National HSE Operations Manager (Northern Region), you’ll play a hands-on role in driving cultural change, improving systems, and lifting capability across leaders and teams. This is not a compliance-only role - it’s about being visible, building trust, challenging behaviours and helping the business move forward in its HSE maturity.
You’ll work closely with site leaders, operational teams and functional partners to embed strong risk management, improve consistency, and ensure Visy’s HSE approach is practical, sustainable and aligned to broader business objectives. The role also involves direct engagement with regulators and supporting sites through audits, incidents and change.
What You Will Bring
- Proven HSE leadership experience in a multi-site environment
- Manufacturing, recycling, logistics or heavy industry experience
- Strong ability to influence, coach and challenge leaders at all levels
- Demonstrated experience driving HSE cultural change and improvement
- Solid working knowledge of WHS and environmental legislation
- Experience dealing directly with regulators and external stakeholders
- Strong risk management, investigation and problem-solving capability
- Resilience, energy and a proactive, “go-getter” mindset
- Ability to balance site presence with broader portfolio ownership
- ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 experience
What You’ll Love When You Join Us
- A genuine opportunity to make a visible impact across QLD operations
- A role focused on influence, leadership and improvement - not paperwork
- Variety across recycling and logistics operations
- Strong connection to site leadership and national HSE teams
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Discounted health insurance and exclusive banking offers
- Purchased annual leave options
- Paid parental leave and keep-in-touch days
- Novated lease and salary sacrifice arrangements
About Visy
Visy is powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, remanufacturing and recycling. Over 75 years, we've grown to 7,000 employees and 150 global operations – predominately in Australia and New Zealand.
We believe materials are not recycled until they’ve been made into new products. We collect and sort recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals from households and businesses, and locally remanufacture them back into new, sustainable packaging. From cardboard boxes, water bottles and jam jars to food and beverage cans, we are using recycled content to power Australia and New Zealand’s food and beverage packaging industry.
