• Investigating workplace safety incidents in order to develop effective controls across the business
• Ensuring Coles adhere to all injury management and return legislation guidelines
• Delivering strategies to reduce business impacted related injuries, workers compensation and RTW
• Understanding and analysing state incidents and trends, in order to share learnings and frame corrective strategies
• Travel will be required as you will be working across multiple sites within the Melbourne regions, with some weekend work required.

• Demonstrated experience in a similar advisor/business partner position across a multi-site business
