Lead Culture. Build Systems. Drive Compliance.

Grove is looking for a strategically minded and action-oriented leader to take full ownership of our Quality, Safety, Environmental and Systems framework across modular construction, manufacturing, transport and hire operations.

This newly defined executive-level role reports directly to the CEO and sits on the Leadership Team. You’ll oversee compliance, governance, and risk functions—while working side by side with operations and compliance teams to turn system insights into cultural and business transformation.

About the Role

This is not a siloed corporate role. You’ll be working across every layer of the business—partnering with site teams, project leads, and senior executives to drive quality and safety improvements, uphold ISO certifications, and build future-ready systems.

You’ll lead a team of specialists across:

  • Quality assurance & compliance

  • Transport safety

  • Workplace health & safety

  • Environmental compliance and Social Procurement

  • Systems architecture and process improvement

 Your time will be balanced between:

  • Working alongside boots-on-the-ground compliance teams to identify risks, gaps and improvement opportunities

  • Shaping and refining our systems, frameworks and reporting processes to meet and exceed regulatory and ISO standards

  • Leading cultural change that supports safety, accountability and operational excellence

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Leading Grove’s integrated QHSE and systems strategy across multiple divisions

  • Ensuring ongoing ISO compliance (Quality, WHS, and Environmental)

  • Translating field-level insights into practical improvements across safety, quality and systems

  • Coaching and developing a multidisciplinary compliance team

  • Partnering with senior leadership to embed risk-aware, quality-driven decision-making

  • Ensuring compliance with all statutory regulations and internal frameworks

  • Driving a culture of safety and continuous improvement across the group

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in a senior compliance or systems role (Head of QHSE, GM Compliance, or similar)

  • A strong background in manufacturing, construction or transport

  • Experience leading multi-functional teams across safety, quality, and systems

  • Deep understanding of ISO frameworks and compliance auditing

  • A process-oriented thinker who can move fast, prioritise well, and see the big picture

  • Confident working across both high-level strategy and frontline problem-solving

What We Offer

  • Direct reporting line to the CEO with the support to drive meaningful change

  • A genuinely diverse business environment—modular building, manufacturing, logistics, and hire

  • A fast-paced, solution-driven culture with big growth plans and strong values

About Grove

Grove is a high-growth, multi-division business that operates in modular construction, transport, equipment hire and manufacturing. Our teams work hard, move fast, and value practical problem-solving over corporate red tape. We’re ISO-accredited across safety, quality and environmental management—and we’re looking for someone who can help us evolve, scale and lead with purpose.
