Searching for work in safety

I will list some of the sites where you can search for safety jobs and get positive hits:
  • Seek This is the Advanced search page, in job classification you need to click on HR, then you go to the sub classification and search OHS.
  • My Career Again this is the advanced search page, again you need to click on HR Recruitment in Sector and then in the sub sector click on Occup Health and Safety
  • Career One Again this is a difficult one, but the best way I've found is scroll down to "by Industry" click on HR, Recruitment and Training, it will divide these into groupings and click on Occupational Health and Safety. Warning this is the worst job search engine in Australia for safety jobs anyway and it will give you all sorts of results, you just have to scroll through them one at a time, which I can never be bothered doing as the eyes go blurry trying to work out this out of touch job search, but there are occasionally some good jobs and it could be worth the effort.
There are other ways of searching jobs too!
  • Smart Jobs There are state government job sites which are pretty good, this one is the QLD state government jobs and you just click on Environment/Health and Safety under catagory. If you are looking in other states just go to the government website of that state.
  • Ergon Energy Some of the larger employers have their own search engines, in this case I have put Ergon Energies site but organisations such as Ford, Holden, Coca Cola and many others have their own sites just search out the large employers that you know and check their websites.
  • Local Councils QLD You can check out all the councils in your area, in this instance I have done a search for councils of QLD and you get a listing of all the councils and their websites which the majority have job listing on. If you are in other states just do a search for local councils adding the state you want.
  • Hays Recruitment you can also search all the recruitment agencies and their search engines, in this instance I have listed Hays for an example but there are many other recruitment agencies There are many others so do your own search and find recruitment agencies in your area.
Hopefully this helps you in your job search, these are just some examples to help and you will find there are many other avenues once you start searching.

Just don't give up, keep trying and you will eventually gain employment if you have the will and the skills.
