The opportunity
The SKA-Low Telescope is an international science and engineering project that will form part of the SKA Observatory, a global next-generation radio astronomy facility. Located in remote Western Australia on Wajarri Yamaji Country, SKA-Low will be one of two SKA telescopes and will provide new capabilities for exploring the Universe. In Australia, CSIRO is collaborating with the SKA Observatory to support the construction and operation of the telescope, with teams working across Geraldton, Perth and the telescope site.
The HSE team supports this work by coordinating Health, Safety and Environment activities across the project’s operational and site-based environments, helping teams work safely and meet HSE requirements.
Reporting to the Senior HSE Advisor, you will support the team with training and compliance activities, HSE records and systems, risk assessments and investigations, and the follow-up of actions. You will gain practical experience across both the Engineering Operations Centre in Geraldton and the SKA-Low telescope site.
You will bring good organisation, communication and time-management skills, ideally with some experience in administration, training, compliance or Health and Safety. Formal HSE qualifications or extensive experience are not essential. You will receive on-the-job mentoring and support to build your HSE knowledge and practical experience.
