The Opportunity

We are seeking a hands-on and proactive QHSE Manager to lead and continuously improve the company’s Quality, Health, Safety, and Environmental (QHSE) performance across operations.
This is a strategic and operational role that will suit someone who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves. While you won’t manage direct reports, you will work collaboratively across cross-functional teams and be supported by a strong global and national network within the Spirax Group.
The company is open to candidates who may not have previously held the title of “Manager” but have demonstrable experience and responsibility for HSE within industrial or operational environments. For the right person, this role offers growth opportunities and support, including the option to pursue further study and higher-level qualifications.

About You

The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience leading or supporting HSE initiatives within an industrial, manufacturing, or operational environment, with strong knowledge of quality assurance, auditing, and risk management. A minimum of BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (or equivalent) is required, and additional qualifications in QMS or advanced HSE are highly desirable.
This role suits someone with a hands-on, proactive approach—someone who leads by doing and works collaboratively across departments to embed safety and quality practices. Strong analytical thinking, excellent communication, and stakeholder engagement skills are essential, along with high attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
