Project Based Expert Opinion Reporting

We are seeking highly experienced individuals with a background/qualifications in Work Health and Safety and/or ergonomics.

Those with expertise in the following fields are also sought:

• Slip Resistance Testing

• Illuminance Testing

• Construction Management

• Engineering (mechanical, civil, electrical)

The successful applicants will be highly experienced in industry. In addition they will have relevant tertiary qualifications.

The successful applicants will provide expert opinion in personal injury matters. They will review and analyse injury accidents and provide opinion in those matters to assist legal and court proceedings.

Successful applicants will have the relevant background to immediately carry out the following:

• Carry out interviews with persons involved in personal injury claims. As required, this may include employees, employers, members of the public and relevant others;

• Inspect accident and incident sites. Travel may be required at times;

• Examine and analyse documents, materials and other sources of information in terms of ergonomics;

• Determine how and why an incident or injury occurred;

• Identify relevant Australian safety standards and ergonomic guidance material;

• Make liability assessments – Who was at fault? And why?;

• Set out your findings and expert opinion in report form;

• Communicate with lawyer clients; and

• Occasionally provide oral evidence in court.

The above will involve largely NSW based personal injury claims and accidents, and as such a familiarity with NSW Work Health and Safety is required. Our preference is individuals based in Sydney, Australia.

We will provide support and instruction to successful candidates. Prior experience in the preparation of expert opinion reporting is not required, but is advantageous.
