About Us
Ethos Health is a nationally recognised health and technology business dedicated to keeping people and organisations healthy, happy, and safe. We provide industry-leading Work Health and Safety (WHS) consulting services and implement award-winning health interventions and technologies to workplaces across Australia. Our client base includes major operators in 24/7 high-risk environments, including mining, transport, logistics, utilities, health, and emergency services. You will be joining a diverse, multidisciplinary team of specialist workplace health professionals
who consult across health and wellbeing, musculoskeletal prevention and injury management, and fatigue risk management.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced WHS professional to join our Workplace Services Team. While this role functions primarily as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS), we recognise that the fatigue-specific elements can be trained. The absolute essential
requirement for this role is your real-world WHS experience—specifically your ability to facilitate Workplace Risk Assessment and Controls (WRACs), your deep understanding of safety legislation, and your high-level technical writing capability. In this role, you will lead the development, review, and
optimisation of FRMS for our clients. You will utilise clinical, evidence-based, and risk-based methodologies to analyse operational data, assess fatigue risk, identify mitigation strategies, communicate with workers and leaders, and author technical reports. Furthermore, while your primary mandate is fatigue risk management, you are joining a broad consultancy. There will be ample opportunities to leverage your WHS background to consult across our other disciplines, including general health, wellbeing, and injury management initiatives.
