Join an independent state statutory agency in a pivotal operational role dedicated to maintaining public trust and operational integrity during the upcoming election. As the Site Operations Officer, you will oversee and drive day-to-day site logistics, facility readiness, and contractor workflows at a major Central Operations and Processing Centre.

Champion a rigorous safety culture by proactively enforcing site-wide compliance with Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations, risk assessments, and incident response procedures.
Escalate emerging operational risks, resource shortages, or project discrepancies promptly to the Site Manager with proposed solutions.
