About the role
Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and we have an exciting opportunity for aspiring individuals looking for a future career in compliance. You will be provided with support and guidance as well as exceptional internal and external training to allow you to develop your skills as a SHEQ Officer.
This is an on-farm role based in SA, reporting to the National SHEQ Manager. In this role you will support and collaborate with our Farm Managers to complete their planned compliance tasks across Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (‘SHEQ’). You will be the first point of contact for SHEQ support and matters within an allocated group of farms and will work with our people to proactively support a positive WHS culture across the organisation.

Our farms have the capacity to produce over 174 million broiler chickens annually, contributing approximately 25% of Australia’s total broiler chicken production.
At ProTen, we are driven by a simple but powerful mission – “We grow the chickens”. Our role is much more than just producing food—it’s about contributing to the health and well-being of every Australian. We are dedicated to helping our customers ensure that all Australians have access to an affordable, sustainable, healthy, and complete diet.
This mission is something we take to heart, and it’s why we are committed to caring for our people, our communities, our animals, and the land we work on. It’s not just what we do, it’s who we are. Which is underpinned by our core values of “Teamwork, Professional, Communication, Caring and Curious”.
About you
As this is an entry level role, previous experience with SHEQ systems is not essential, but would be highly regarded.
You are efficient, with excellent attention to detail and a compliance mindset. Your ability to keep accurate records, produce reports, make recommendations, and maintain a pro-active approach to SHEQ compliance and culture will be an asset to the business. You are a proven self-starter who is able to collaborate in a small team. We will provide you with the resources to get the job done.
You are prepared and committed to undertake further study (Cert 4 in WHS). You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, including comfort engaging with our teams and contractors at all levels.
The successful applicant must have the right to work in Australia, a current manual driver’s license, and have a willingness to conduct field work on a regular basis.
We’re looking for someone passionate, open-minded, and driven to lead a high-performing team in a dynamic environment.
