Health & Safety Coordinator

RealNZ

Job Description

Are you passionate about creating environments where people feel safe, supported, and empowered? We're looking for a proactive and detail driven Health & Safety Coordinator to help shape and strengthen our safety culture.

In this role, you won't just "tick boxes", you'll play a key part in protecting people, improving systems, and making a real impact across the business.

What you'll be doing:

You'll work closely with our Chief Safety Officer and wider H&S team to keep our safety systems running smoothly and continuously improving. Your day-to-day will include:

  • Supporting risk, incident, and audit management programmes
  • Maintaining and improving safety systems (including Eco Portal and reporting tools)
  • Assisting with investigations and ensuring accurate, meaningful reporting
  • Coordinating training programmes and keeping compliance on track
  • Helping deliver health, safety, and wellbeing initiatives across the business
  • Supporting emergency planning and safety monitoring across multiple sites
  • Collaborating with teams to embed best practice safety behaviours

This is a varied, hands on role where no two days are the same, perfect for someone who enjoys both admin precision and people interaction.

What you'll bring:

You're organised, curious, and genuinely care about people's wellbeing. You're just as comfortable working independently as you are collaborating with a team.

We're looking for someone with:
  • 2-5 years' experience in a health & safety coordination or admin role (or a relevant qualification)
  • Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Solid understanding of workplace health & safety practices and legislation
  • Great attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Confidence using systems and reporting tools
  • A proactive mindset with strong problem solving ability

Most importantly, you bring a positive attitude, resilience, and a willingness to learn and grow.

What's in it for you?
  • Be part of a business that cares deeply about people, place, and the environment
  • Enjoy some incredible staff perks! Bring a friend along to experience RealNZ's unforgettable adventures at a fantastic discount. Explore the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, cruise Milford & Doubtful Sound, dine at the famous Walter Peak and discover Rakiura. It's an amazing opportunity to experience the best of New Zealand without breaking the bank
  • Medical insurance cover is included
  • Free Cardrona x Treble Cone Ski/Bike pass

At RealNZ, we're committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Guided by our values of Pono (Keep it real) and He waka eke noa (We're all in this together), we embrace and celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that make our team stronger. Everyone is welcome here.
