We are seeking a Health and Safety Advisor who gets the realities of a workshop. Someone who brings practical know-how, earns respect on the floor, and puts our people first.

The role:

  • Keep our safety systems practical - Work with our teams to continue to embed ISO45001 practices into our effective safety systems - focussing on key risks without adding unnecessary complexity and disrupting workflows.

  • Manage our workshop risks- partner with our workshops to identify and manage new hazards, undertake risk assessments and champion reporting to promote a no-blame culture. Keeping safety visible, hands-on, and easy to understand.
  • Keep safety moving - follow up and close out concerns, plan ahead for audits, training and workshop inspections that also consider the demands on our workshop teams.
  • Build quality relationships - understand our business and workshop teams to collaborate together effectively and support our long term success through safety.

About you:

  • You're an experienced H&S professional, or a capable H&S Coordinator ready to step up, who brings practical know-how and a collaborative mindset.
  • Ideally, you've worked in mechanical or trade environments and understand the realities of keeping people safe in hands-on settings.
  • You're familiar with ISO45001 and know how to apply it in a way that makes sense on the ground and not just on paper.
  • Your communication style is confident, respectful, and down-to-earth. You know how to build trust, coach teams, and get buy-in without being heavy-handed.
  • A hands-on approach that focuses on working collaboratively to achieve workable outcomes that don't over-complicate things.

What can we offer?

  • A flexible part-time role (0.8 FTE) - balance your work and life while making a real impact.
  • Competitive remuneration.
  • Regular travel to our workshops across New Zealand - get out and about, meet with our workshop teams, and see your work in action.
  • Our H&S function is in growth mode - this is a newly established position with room to make your mark and shape the role.
  • A fun, inclusive work environment - we're a proud NZ family organisation that just celebrated 100 years in business. Our journey keeps getting better
