People & Capability Coach

About Us 

Buildsafe is an innovative leader in the building and construction space, providing height safety systems and scaffolding solutions across Australia. Our growth and success are driven by our people; the crews, leaders, and teams who show up every day to get the job done safely and professionally. 

With operations across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, Buildsafe is a fast-paced, values-driven business that prides itself on doing things properly. We invest in our people, support their development, and believe strong capability on site leads to better outcomes for everyone. 

About the Role 

At its heart, this role exists to care for, support, and develop our people in the field. We’re looking for someone who naturally nurtures others, takes ownership of their growth, and genuinely wants to see our men and women succeed; on site and beyond.

Join our expanding team as People & Capability Coach and take the lead in driving learning and development across Buildsafe. Reporting to the National Safety & Compliance Manager, this role is about building genuine capability, not just ticking compliance boxes. You will collaborate with operational teams, leaders, and subject-matter experts to transform hands-on experience into practical learning that delivers real results on-site. 

This is a highly visible, on-the-ground role where you’ll build trust with our crews and installers, support leaders in the field, and help grow people technically, professionally, and personally.
