Description & Requirements

Don’t come for an easy career. Stay for a rewarding one. 
At Santos, we do work that matters and always have. When you join us, so will you. 

As an ASX 20 global energy company, we’re committed to providing reliable and affordable energy to help create a better world for everyone. 

To make it happen, we work as One Team and ask ourselves, “How can we?” (Even when others say, “We can’t.”) 
We’re proud of our history as pioneers, problem-solvers, and pragmatists. And as we strive to achieve our Vision2040, we’ve got our sights set on a culture that is focussed and disciplined to drive value, and entrepreneurial and energised to leave a positive legacy. 

The difference isn’t just thinking big – it’s delivering on it too. 

As part of the team, you’ll tackle one of the most complex problems of our time. It’s no easy task, but nothing rewarding ever is.

What you’ll do:
Are you a passionate safety leader ready to make a real impact? At Santos, we’re committed to our core value of ‘Always Safe’, and we’re looking for a Senior Health and Safety Advisor to help embed this value across our Eastern Australia and PNG (EAU) operations.

In this pivotal role, you’ll partner with frontline leaders and teams to drive the implementation of our Safety Management System (SMS), foster a culture of continuous improvement, and ensure safety is at the heart of everything we do.
  • Champion the Santos SMS across EAU operations, ensuring alignment and engagement at all levels.
  • Coach and mentor leaders and HSER Field Advisors to elevate safety leadership and performance.
  • Support the rollout of safety initiatives, empowering teams to take ownership of safety outcomes.
  • Build strong relationships with employees, contractors, and stakeholders to drive collaboration.
  • Lead audits, inspections, and incident investigations, delivering actionable insights.
  • Oversee the EAU HS Assurance program and contractor participation.
  • Develop and deliver engaging safety education and awareness materials.
  • Guide and support the onboarding of new Field Safety Advisors.
  
What you’ll bring: 
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills – a natural influencer.
  • Analytical mindset with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Proven leadership and mentoring capabilities.
  • Integrity, resilience, and a passion for creating safe, inclusive workplaces.
  • Tertiary qualifications in Occupational Health and Safety or a related field.
  • Significant experience in a HSE advisory role, ideally within oil and gas or resource sectors.
  • Certification in incident investigation methodologies (e.g., ICAM, TapRooT).  

What you’ll get:
Here, you’ll be amongst high-calibre people and get to work on industry-leading projects. We don’t shy away from solving tough problems at pace. We like it that way. You can expect to be challenged and supported; to learn and grow. 

At Santos, we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. This means a place that is safe; where you are valued and respected, and your contribution is recognised and appreciated. Join us, and you’ll play a role in this too.

Each of our sites offer access to specific amenities that aim to create the best possible benefits to your health, wellbeing and performance. In Brisbane this includes Onsite Gym facilities, Onsite GP services and many more employee benefits.

What you’re part of:
Everywhere you turn you will be a part of a team who are coming together to contribute to our single uniting purpose - to provide reliable and affordable energy to help create a better world for everyone

And because it’s not only what you do, but how you do it, you will also contribute to improving the living standards of the communities where we operate, building enduring and respectful relationships that serve a generation. It’s about each of us, and all of us – together.

How to Apply:
Applications must be submitted via the online recruitment system before COB 16th June 2025. 

Supporting a Diverse Workforce 
Santos acknowledges that we operate on the traditional lands of Aboriginal people. We recognise the traditional rights to maintain the culture, identities, traditions, and customs on their country. We are committed to an inclusive environment where people feel comfortable to be themselves. We want our people to feel that all voices are heard, all cultures respected and that a variety of perspectives are not only welcome – they are essential to our ongoing success.  

We treat each other fairly and with dignity regardless of race, gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, or anything else that makes us different.  

Australian Aboriginal and / or Torres Strait Islander jobseekers are strongly encouraged to apply.

A requirement of this role is that you will need to have in place the legal work rights for Australia to apply.
