Group Head of HSEQ
AE Smith | Sydney
or Melbourne
Lead the next era
of safety, quality and operational excellence across one of Australia’s most
recognised building services groups.
About
the Amplius Group
The Amplius Group brings together some of Australia’s most respected
building services businesses – including AE Smith, Nuvo and Envar – delivering
mechanical, electrical and specialist technical services across critical
infrastructure, commercial, industrial and institutional environments.
Together, the Group combines more than 120
years of industry heritage with a renewed focus on growth, performance, culture
and long-term value creation.
Since returning to private ownership in 2023, the Group has entered a
new chapter – one focused on building a modern, high-performing building
services organisation with strong leadership, operational excellence and
customer partnerships at its core.
Across the Group, safety, quality and operational excellence are not
viewed as compliance requirements alone – they are defining elements of our
culture, reputation and future success.
As part of this next phase, we are looking for an exceptional Group Head
of HSEQ to help shape the future of safety, governance, quality and
environmental performance across the broader Amplius Group.
This is more than a functional leadership role. It is an opportunity to
influence culture, strengthen operational capability, shape strategy, and build
a modern HSEQ function that will help define the future direction of the Group.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to
the Managing Director and working closely with the Executive Leadership Team,
the Group Head of HSEQ will lead the development and execution of the Group’s
HSEQ strategy across multiple business units.
You will play a
critical leadership role in strengthening governance, building capability,
driving accountability, and embedding a culture where safety, quality and
operational excellence are fundamental to how the business performs.
This role will suit
someone who:
- Wants to lead transformation, not simply maintain
compliance
- Sees HSEQ as a driver of culture, operational
performance and business success
- Understands operational risk within building
services, construction, infrastructure or technical services environments
- Knows how to balance strategic direction with
practical field leadership
- Wants the opportunity to build systems,
capability and culture that will shape the future of the business
Key
Responsibilities
- Lead the Group-wide HSEQ strategy, governance and
assurance framework
- Build and strengthen Integrated Management
Systems aligned to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001
- Drive critical risk management, verification and
operational assurance activities
- Lead audit, incident investigation, corrective
action and continuous improvement programs
- Partner with operational leaders to strengthen
accountability, engagement and field leadership
- Drive meaningful cultural improvement across
safety, quality and operational performance
- Provide HSEQ leadership across tenders, project
mobilisation and operational activities
- Deliver meaningful reporting and insights to
Executive leadership and the Board
- Build capability through coaching, mentoring,
training and leadership development
About You
You are an experienced
HSEQ leader within building services, infrastructure, construction, facilities
management or a related operational environment.
You are commercially
aware, operationally credible, and highly effective at influencing people at
all levels of a business.
Most importantly, you
are someone who leads from the front, builds trust quickly, and creates
environments where people genuinely want to succeed safely and perform at their
best.
You are energised by
the opportunity to build, improve and influence – not simply maintain the
status quo.
You bring:

environmental and risk functions
- Strong knowledge of Australian HSEQ legislation
and compliance frameworks
- Experience improving management systems,
assurance and governance capability
- A collaborative leadership style focused on
people, culture and continuous improvement
- The credibility and resilience to drive change
within a fast-paced operational environment
Tertiary qualifications
in Occupational Health & Safety, Environmental Management, Engineering,
Risk or a related discipline will be highly regarded.

Amplius Group?
