Become an installation technician

HSE is constantly on the lookout for people wanting to become height safety technicians. Technicians fill two main roles at HSE: installing height safety systems and performing recertification inspections.

Becoming an installation technician is a hands-on instruction to the world of height safety. The work can involve the installation of roof anchor points, construction of walkways, platforms and ladder systems as well as stringing of static lines and more.

Recertification technicians visit client sites and assess their existing fall protection systems for compliance against The Australian standards, work health and safety legislation and manufacturers’ installation instructions.

There are no formal qualifications for people wanting to become a height safety technician, the skills required to undertake the installation work are not typical of most building or construction trades. They include working at heights, undertaking rope access into difficult areas as well as working in confined spaces and areas of restricted access.

However, a background in building, construction or other trades is usually helpful as they bring transferrable skills in handling of tools and the building of platforms and ladder systems.

Becoming a height safety technician with HSE can also provide stability through full-time employment with well-defined career advancement pathways towards work supervisor and project management roles.

Sales, support and administration roles

Behind our technical and training teams is the support staff of sales and administration. As HSE has increased our number of boots on the ground, the office-based support team is also growing.

HSE is always looking for new team members to assist in report writing, job scheduling, accounts, quoting, coordination and more.

As with our technical people, there are clearly defined career pathways across a variety of areas for those looking to advance into project management, estimation, training management and more.
