About This Role
Our organisation is made up of employees working alongside more than 51,000 volunteers. We value the different skills, experience and viewpoints that people bring, because they strengthen how we operate and support the services Victorians rely on.
We aim to be a workplace where people feel supported to do meaningful work, develop professionally and contribute to outcomes that matter to the people and places we serve.

About The Role
We are seeking a pragmatic and solutions focussed individual to join the Health and Safety team on a fixed term basis through to December 2028. Working in a highly dynamic environment you will provide expert advice, conduct risk assessments and provide expert technical guidance to help identify, manage and reduce occupational health risks.
Working closely with stakeholders across the organisation state-wide, you will influence strategic and operational decisions while driving practical initiatives that safeguard the health of CFA members.
By providing expert occupational hygiene advice, this role influences risk reduction strategies and drives evidence-based initiatives that minimise exposure to workplace and fireground hazards, helping to protect the health and safety of CFA members.
About You
We are seeking a qualified Occupational Hygienist with experience in workplace monitoring, occupational health risk management or a related discipline within Australia or a comparable regulatory environment.
You will bring strong technical knowledge of occupational hygiene principles, exposure monitoring, risk controls and relevant legislation, along with excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills. Relevant tertiary qualifications are essential, while postgraduate studies and AIOH membership or Certified Occupational Hygienist (COH) accreditation will be highly regarded.
This role offers the opportunity to influence organisation wide outcomes, grow your expertise and act as a trusted specialist in a purpose driven environment.
There may be some travel required to regional locations and after-hours travel and weekend work at times. A CFA vehicle will be supplied for this purpose. A driver's license is a requirement of this role.
