About the Role

 

This is frontline leadership with real operational impact, not just oversight.
As a Senior Emergency, Health and Security Advisor at Cowal, you’ll be at the core of our emergency response and health & security functions, leading by example, driving accountability, and supporting your team to deliver safe, efficient, and responsive operations.

 

Reporting to the Superintendent – Safety, Health and Training, you’ll be responsible for coordinating emergency response readiness, health initiatives, and site security protocols. You’ll work closely with operational teams to ensure coverage, compliance, and continuous improvement, while mentoring and guiding your team to meet performance expectations.

 

What makes this role stand out?

 

  • A leadership opportunity to shape culture and drive operational excellence
  • A chance to lead a high-functioning team with strong support and clear direction
  • Exposure across multiple departments and critical risk areas
  • A role where your influence will be visible and your leadership will be felt

 

Whether you’re stepping up from a senior advisory role or bringing established leadership experience, this is a role where your ability to lead, communicate, and deliver results will be key.

 

 

About You

 

You’re someone who thrives in dynamic environments and understands the importance of structure, accountability, and teamwork. You’ve led teams before—or you’re ready to—and you’re confident in your ability to manage competing priorities while keeping people safe and supported.

 

You’re motivated by outcomes, not just process. You’re comfortable making decisions, coaching others, and working across departments to get things done. You understand emergency response, health, and security protocols, and you’re ready to take ownership of these critical functions.

 

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has experience in emergency response, health, or security within mining or heavy industry
  • Brings leadership capability and a drive for continuous improvement
  • Can balance strategic thinking with hands-on support
  • Is ready to build something meaningful and lead a team that’s growing in capability and impact

 

We’re open to developing the right person, especially if you bring the right mindset and a strong foundation in emergency, health, or security operations.
