Job Description

About the role

We have an opportunity for a Safety & Compliance Training Adviser to help strengthen safety and compliance performance across Sydney Airport. This role coordinates the governance, development, administration and continuous improvement of safety, compliance and technical learning, ensuring training requirements remain current, risk-based and auditable.

Working closely with operational leaders, subject-matter experts and learning stakeholders, you will manage training controls, learning content, compliance records and review cycles. You will also play a key role in improving training effectiveness and supporting the implementation of a new learning management system across the business.

 

In this role, you will have the opportunity to

  • Coordinate the annual safety, compliance and technical training plan in line with operational and business requirements.
  • Maintain training registers, calendars, learning pathways and competency records, ensuring information is accurate, current and auditable.
  • Partner with business leaders and subject-matter experts to identify learning needs and develop, review and maintain practical, fit-for-purpose training content.
  • Monitor training completion, learner feedback, assurance findings and upcoming reviews, supporting training effectiveness reviews and escalating compliance, competency or record gaps where required.
  • Spend time in operational areas to assess how safety-critical training is being applied and identify improvement opportunities.
  • Lead the safety and mandatory training workstream as Sydney Airport transitions to its new learning management system.


About you

  • Experience coordinating safety, compliance, technical or operational training within a complex or regulated environment.
  • Strong learning management system administration skills, with experience maintaining accurate and auditable training and competency records.
  • An ability to work effectively with operational teams, business leaders and subject-matter experts to develop and implement learning content.
  • Understanding of training governance, adult-learning principles and competency-based learning.
  • Ability to interpret procedural, regulatory and operational requirements and translate them into practical, fit-for-purpose learning solutions.
  • Strong organisation, written communication and analytical skills, with the ability to identify compliance gaps and improvement opportunities.
  • Relevant qualifications in learning and development, training and assessment, work health and safety or a related discipline. A Certificate IV in Training and Assessment would be highly regarded.
