Proceed to ApplicationHelp shape a safer, smarter future with Dairyworks
We’re proud to feed New Zealand and beyond — and just as proud to look after the people who make it happen.
We’re looking for a Health, Safety & Wellbeing Business Partner who thrives in fast-paced FMCG environments, enjoys building strong relationships, and knows that real safety happens on the floor, not just on paper.
What you’ll be doing
Support our "Safetyworks" strategy and improvement roadmap
Coach and support leaders to truly own health, safety & wellbeing.
Coach teams to use our systems with confidence.
Lead and assist with incident investigations and risk assessments.
Partner with operations to review hazards, critical risks, and control measures.
Drive practical improvements that make work safer and more efficient.
What you’ll bring
1–3 years’ experience in a health & safety role (manufacturing or FMCG preferred).
Working knowledge of the HSWA 2015 and related regulations.
Strong communication and coaching skills — you can turn “compliance talk” into common sense.
Confidence with systems, investigations (ICAM or similar), and risk management.
Energy, curiosity, and the ability to adapt in a busy environment.
Why Dairyworks?
A genuinely supportive team culture — we’ve got each other’s backs.
A business that invests in people and welcomes new ideas.
The chance to make a real impact in a growing NZ food manufacturer.
Competitive salary and opportunities to grow your HSW career.
Haven't got it all?
We are looking for a great cultural fit as much as we are for the technical skills to support the business. So if you aren't sure, put your hat in the ring anyway!
