Despite economic headwinds, the HSE job market in Australia has remained remarkably resilient compared to other sectors, according to The Safe Step’s latest HSE Job Opportunities Index. While HSE job opportunities have softened, they remain 58 per cent higher than five years ago (well above pre-COVID levels). Queensland now holds the second-largest share of HSE job opportunities, at 27 per cent, driven by significant investments in infrastructure, energy projects, and resources.

There has been a strong start to 2024 for the national HSE job market, with a 12.5 per cent increase in contracting opportunities and high demand for senior-level HSE professionals, according to recent research. While there was an expected seasonal slowdown over the Christmas period, employers began their hiring processes much earlier than usual after the break.
