ABOUT THE JOB
This is an onsite senior individual-contributor role responsible for owning the development, implementation and continuous improvement of EHS programs across a fast-moving manufacturing, test and field environment.
As the senior EHS professional on site, you are the subject-matter expert: you own the programs, set the standard, and partner with operations to keep our people safe and the site compliant with the WHS Act, Regulations and applicable Codes of Practice.
Your scope spans occupational safety, high-risk work, incident management, environmental compliance, contractor oversight and emergency preparedness — across operations that include heavy manufacturing, lifting, offshore testing, electrical work, lithium-ion battery systems and general industrial activities.
You lead through expertise, influence and credibility — building a culture where safe behaviour is the default and EHS is a partner to production, not a roadblock. This role reports to the EHS Senior Manager for Australia. This role is for someone who wants to build a system, not just manage one.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Own the site's EHS management system, programs, standards and risk framework — develop, implement, improve, and drive them to scale as operations grow
• Serve as the EHS interface to site leadership, operational teams, contractors, auditors and regulators
• Lead incident and near‑miss investigations, including root cause analysis, and drive corrective and preventive actions to closure
• Provide specialist oversight for high-risk operations: lifting, electrical work and LOTO, lithium-ion battery systems, heavy manufacturing equipment, and offshore testing and field activities
• Establish EHS requirements for contractors, verify compliance, and manage contractor and visitor safety
• Manage environmental compliance including waste, hazardous substances, spill prevention and pollution control; coordinate occupational hygiene assessments and health surveillance
• Provide EHS input into management of change, new technology introductions and facility/process design
• Develop and deliver training, inductions, toolbox talks and awareness programs
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Science, Safety/Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Progressive EHS experience in engineering, manufacturing, maritime, defence, aerospace, or other complex technical/industrial environments
• Working knowledge of the WHS Act and Regulations (NSW), applicable Codes of Practice, and relevant Australian Standards
• Experience integrating hazard analysis and risk assessment with engineering and program decision-making — not purely after-the-fact compliance work
• Demonstrated ability to own programs and influence multidisciplinary teams without direct authority
• Strong communication, facilitation and relationship-building skills; ability to translate technical risk into actionable business recommendations
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Direct experience in maritime, shipbuilding, or naval engineering/operations environments
• Experience with ISO 45001 and ISO 14001
• Experience scaling an EHS management system through rapid site or program growth
• Natural tendency to challenge the status quo; leans into hard problems instead of walking away

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
