When you join Tellus, you become part of a team that cares about its people and the health of our planet.

The position will be responsible for all required regulatory reporting and risk hazard identification management including instruction and support to manage identified risks. The position will be further accountable for the maintenance of radiological and safeguards inventory databases and the preparation of the associated reports.

The position will be required to assist with the development, implementation and monitoring of occupational hygiene and radiation protection programs to ensure the continued safety of our people. This role will also fulfil the duties of the Surface Ventilation Officer, Noise Officer and act as Radiation Safety Technician in support of the statutory Radiation Safety Officer.

The position is expected to drive continuous improvement and compliance of occupational hygiene practices by actively seeking new technologies and research whilst maintaining required statutory compliance with the relevant regulations.

As the subject matter expert in our operational team, the position must be able to provide support, advice and training for the safe handling and treatment of waste material and equipment, including where radiation is a risk factor.

You must have a good knowledge of both Federal and State radiation safety legislation, codes of practice, standards, and guidelines, including the management of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM), disused sealed radioactive sources (DSRS), and the management of packaging, transport and/or storage of radioactive materials.

You must also show through your passion, to have the ability to be solutions-focused with a proactive can-do attitude, be able to work across all levels of the business in a consultative, respectful, and team-based approach.

Finally, if you have previous experience in a similar role, especially in management of radioactive waste storage, transport, and disposal, including regulatory approvals – fantastic!

Overseeing all radiological safety and emergency awareness training requirements, including training delivery.

Assisting with the development of required waste characterisation and verification methodologies, equipment and facilities for waste treatment, handling and disposal of radioactive waste.

Being the radiological subject matter expert to provide required support and advice for our operational teams with respect to radiological waste acceptance and logistics processes

To be considered for the role, you must have:

Successfully completed a tertiary qualification in science, engineering, health physics or equivalent.

Demonstrated previous experience in radiation safety or similar position. Previous experience managing radioactive waste storage, transport and disposal, including regulatory approvals is highly desirable.

Detailed knowledge of Federal and State radiation safety legislation, codes of practice, standards and guidelines, including the management of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM), disused sealed radioactive sources (DSRS), and the management of packaging, transport and/or storage of radioactive materials.

A company that values the health and safety of its employees and the communities we work in and the passion and dedication that you bring to the table in achieving our collective mission.

A team of people that strongly believes that you can be “green” and work in waste, cares deeply about cleaning up the environment, cares for each other and is determined to together enjoy the journey we are on.

A great opportunity to grow with us, including having equity in the business.

Leaders who understand that flexibility and life balance is important – that having a job should never compromise spending time with family, friends and personal health and wellbeing.

You will have the platform to showcase your experience and knowledge, including your understanding of radiological risk, mitigations, and opportunities at all levels of our business.

You can demonstrate your relationship building skills to grow genuine long-lasting connections, where people want to grab a coffee, a kombucha or a beer with you.

You can be the entrepreneur you were born to be. No-one in Australia has done what we’re doing, so you will have permission to be creative, think outside the box and offer new thoughts and ideas.

We all care about climate change… and want to do something about it.
