Who We Are:

Bradken is equipping the resource sector to sustainably advance society.

As a HSE Business Partner, you’ll join a global leader in mining equipment solutions, and partner with operational leaders and embed a proactive, values-led safety and wellbeing culture across our manufacturing sites.

With a strong understanding of WHS legislation, systems and culture, you’ll guide leaders in making safety part of how work gets done.

In this role, you will:

• Support and guide incident investigations with a root cause and prevention focus, applying structured thinking to reduce future risk
• Manage safety systems and documentation, ensuring compliance, audit-readiness and practical usability at site level
• Lead and deliver wellbeing initiatives, WHS committee support and training plans that are aligned to site priorities and budgets
• Coordinate injury management and Workers Compensation processes, including return-to-work planning, ensuring timely and supportive outcomes
• Use safety performance data and trend analysis to inform site strategies and advise leaders on proactive risk controls
• Build partnerships across teams using a One Team approach to drive continuous improvement, operational ownership and positive safety culture
