About the role 

We are seeking an experienced Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Specialist to cover our Australia and New Zealand commercial organisation during a 14-month fixed-term contract. This is a senior, influential role partnering closely with Commercial Excellence, HR, and regional and global EHS teams to manage risk in a complex, field-based environment. 

Your role will be varied and will include: 

• Leading EHS risk management across ANZ, with a focus on driver safety, site safety and mental health 

• Managing workers’ compensation, injury management and return-to-work in partnership with insurers, regulators and payroll 

• Acting as ANZ point of contact for global health and wellbeing programs and initiatives 

• Maintaining EHS and wellbeing policies, including psychosocial risk and mental health compliance 

About you 

We are looking for a commercially minded EHS professional who understands how to influence rather than direct, and who thrives in a national, matrixed organisation. You will have a strong background in commercial or corporate EHS rather than heavy manufacturing. 

You will need: 

• 6+ years’ experience in a commercial EHS, injury management or wellbeing role 

• Strong workers’ compensation and return-to-work experience across multiple jurisdictions 

• Confidence partnering with senior leaders and navigating regional and global EHS frameworks 

• A practical, positive approach to mental health, wellbeing and psychosocial risk 

Why join us? 

At GSK, we challenge ourselves to get Ahead Together – to make a positive impact on global health; for growth; in an environment where people can thrive. Our culture inspires our performance. 

By joining GSK, you’ll enjoy: 

• A flexible and life-friendly working approach, allowing you to do your best work 

• Being in a diverse organisation that reflects the communities that we work within 

• Development and progression at a global scale, with international opportunities 

• 5 Feel Good Days and 1 volunteer day (on top of your annual leave) 

• Option to purchase up to 4 weeks’ additional leave per year 

• Access to discounted health insurance
