Hutcheon and Pearce
Workplace Health & Safety Manager
Full-Time
Shared Resource Office
At Hutcheon & Pearce, the safety of our people comes first. Our teams work in hands-on, operational environments every day supporting customers across agriculture, construction, and forestry, and we are committed to ensuring every person goes home safely at the end of each day. As one of Australia’s leading John Deere dealerships, we know that achieving this requires strong leadership, practical safety systems, and a culture where safety is part of how we work.
We’re seeking an experienced Workplace Health & Safety Manager to lead safety across our organisation. This role suits someone who understands operational businesses and can partner with leaders to embed safety into everyday decisions. This is more than compliance, it’s a chance to shape culture, strengthen our systems, and drive meaningful improvements across a growing regional business. Strong connection with our branches is essential, with regular travel and proactive engagement at the heart of the role.
What You’ll Be Doing
Working closely with leaders across the organisation, you will:
- Provide practical WHS guidance that supports safe and effective operations.
- Lead the development and improvement of WHS systems, policies, and procedures
- Support leaders to identify, manage, and reduce workplace risks
- Oversee incident investigations and ensure meaningful corrective actions are implemented
- Manage safety reporting, audits, and compliance across multiple locations
- Oversee workers compensation and return-to-work programs
- Deliver the annual WHS plan and safety initiatives
- Develop and support the safety team while building safety capability across the business
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone who understands that effective safety leadership comes from working with the business, not policing it.
You will bring:
- Formal qualifications in Workplace Health and Safety or a related field
- Strong knowledge of WHS legislation and regulatory frameworks
- Experience in a similar WHS leadership role within an operational or blue-collar environment
- Strong risk assessment and incident investigation capability
- The ability to influence leaders and build strong working relationships
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- A practical, solutions-focused approach to improving safety outcomes
Why Join Hutcheon & Pearce?
- Be part of a respected and growing regional business
- Work closely with leaders who value practical safety solutions
- Influence safety outcomes across multiple branches and teams
- Help shape a strong and proactive safety culture
- Competitive salary and tool of trade vehicle.
If you’re passionate about improving safety in operational environments and enjoy working alongside leaders to create practical, lasting change, we’d love to hear from you
