Introduction About Us CC Pines is an Australian-owned, family-founded construction company with a 45-year track record of delivering complex, high-risk projects that other contractors won't touch, from embassy builds in Morocco to Defence infrastructure across the Pacific. We work with the Australian Department of Defence, DFAT, and the US Department of Defence, and we've never had a reportable safety incident. We're big enough to run world-class projects, small enough that your voice actually gets heard, especially in an HSE role like this one. Our values, humble, hungry, smart, aren't a poster on the wall. They're how we pick our people and how we run our sites. Why Darwin? This role is based in Darwin, full-time, and honestly, that's one of the best parts of the job. A genuine outdoor lifestyle. Think Mindil Beach sunsets, fishing for barra, weekend trips to Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks, and a harbourside city built for getting outside after work. Dry season living. Darwin's dry season (roughly May to October) delivers warm, sunny days and next to no rain, some of the best year-round outdoor conditions in Australia. A tight-knit, laid-back community. Darwin has a small-city feel with a big social scene, markets, festivals, and a genuine "everyone knows everyone" culture that makes settling in easy. Career runway. Darwin's Defence and infrastructure pipeline is booming, and being the HSE voice on-site here puts you at the centre of some of the most significant Defence-linked construction activity in the country. Relocation support available for the right candidate, ask us about it. Why Join CC Pines? A genuine seat at the table on safety, not just an admin function bolted on at the end. Competitive salary plus Territory living benefits, with a real relocation conversation on the table. Real career progression, we're growing, and we invest in developing our people, not just filling seats. A supportive, inclusive team culture where HSE professionals are backed by leadership, not fighting an uphill battle alone.
