Associate Consultant, Property Compliance

What if you could do the kind of work the world needs?

At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. You can embrace your curiosity in a culture that celebrates new ideas and diverse perspectives. You can experience a world of opportunity and the chance to shape a career as unique as you.

The opportunity

As a Senior Property Risk & Compliance Assessor, you’ll lead high-impact compliance and risk assessments across diverse properties; identifying non-compliance, uncovering gaps, and driving smart, actionable remediation strategies.

Based in our Melbourne office, you’ll work with our local clients to elevate their safety and compliance standards.

Day to day, you will:

• Independently assess and document Essential Safety Measures (ESMs) on-site, including reviewing service records
• Conduct desktop reviews of contractor documentation and compliance records
• Witness and evaluate Systems Interface Testing (SIT) with service providers
• Perform quarterly egress and annual passive systems inspections
• Manage data and prepare technical reports and review reports for small to medium projects
• Assist with annual compliance documentation such as AESMRs or state equivalents
• Stay informed about evolving compliance regulations and industry trends to offer proactive recommendations and anticipate potential challenges
• Contribute to improved client satisfaction and feedback
• Occasionally travel for regional/interstate work and attend SITs outside standard hours

This role will give you the opportunity to continuously upskill and support broader property compliance projects (e.g. risk, confined space, hazardous chemicals, plant, and traffic assessments) following training.
