Alexis Marelic
@alexismarelic
HSEQ leader with 11+ years improving safety performance through ISO-aligned systems and on-site influence.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced HSEQ professional with 11+ years across construction, manufacturing, and mining. I lead safety management systems, drive compliance with ISO 45001, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001, and build confidence across teams—from site crews to executive leadership—so risk is managed and incidents are prevented.
In my current Built MG role as WHS Manager, I implement company-wide and project WHS Management Plans, run inspections and audits, and coordinate incident investigations through to report close-out, supported by safety management software. Previously, I delivered measurable outcomes as QHSE Manager at Tandem Building Group (80% reduction in TRIFR and nil workers compensation claims) and as HSEQ Manager at Palumbo (OFSC WHS accreditation upgrade and a transition to ISO 45001:2018 12 months ahead of target), while integrating digital safety systems like Safety Pal and maintaining contractor/incident systems such as SitePass and IRIS.
