Timaru, New Zealand Timaru District Council Full time

**The District**

Timaru District is a thriving and innovative community. It is the central hub for the South Island, servicing a large agricultural heartland, with a growing economy that provides an import and export gateway to the primary sectors. We boast a Top 10 most loved beach in New Zealand and have access to mountains, rivers and lakes, making Timaru an ideal destination for recreational, sporting and cultural pursuits.

Let’s not forget about that 7 minute commute to work

**The Organisation**

Timaru District Council aims to enable democratic local decision-making and action by, and on behalf of communities, to promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being of its communities in the present and for the future. With around 400 employees, there are a diverse range of roles from community facing to support and technical specialists.

**The Role / Person**

With a focus on putting safety first and being better than yesterday, we are on the lookout for an individual who is passionate and experienced in making sure our whole team gets to go home safe at the end of each day.

By nature, Councils have a huge range of risks, from heavy machinery to dog bites and hazards associated with working around construction sites to working in the natural environment. In this newly established role, the Health and Safety Manager will provide leadership, influence and guidance in all aspects of health and safety.

You will work to advance the health and safety of all workers of Council and the workers of Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) in conjunction with Council, through delivery of health, safety, and wellbeing initiatives. You will have an in-depth knowledge of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, industry standards, and legislative requirements and be experienced in ensuring an organisation’s health and Safety system, internal practices, policies, and processes are aligned with legislation.

To succeed in this role you will need to have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to collaborate with teams to ensure they engage to get the all-important buy-in.

You will report directly to the Chief Executive, and lead our Health and Safety Advisor, who will assist you in the day-to-day operations and roll-out of H&S initiatives.

We’re after an H&S professional with a qualification in Workplace Health and Safety or equivalent and 5 years’ relevant experience relating to the management of risks, incident investigation, health and safety, occupational wellbeing, and leadership. A track record of reporting on, maintaining, and improving Health and Safety culture and initiatives is essential.

What are you waiting for? This is an exciting opportunity to champion a proactive safety culture throughout our organisation.

This is a permanent, full-time position (40 hours per week). The salary range for this position is $89,769.00 to $105,610.00 per annum.
