Build a Career Protecting Worker Health

Ever wondered how workplaces manage dust, chemicals, noise, and other hazards?

That’s where Occupational Hygienists come in.

At GCG, we use science, data, and fieldwork to help organisations understand and control workplace exposures protecting the health of workers across industries like mining, construction, manufacturing, and defence.

We’re looking for someone to join our Brisbane team who is dependable, motivated, and comfortable working in a variety of industries, including heavy industrial environments. Whether you’re starting out or already have some experience, at GCG what matters most is your attitude and work ethic — we can teach the technical skills.

Our team works across Australia helping organisations measure, understand, and manage workplace hazards.

Our Brisbane office is a collaborative and fast-growing team, where people are encouraged to ask questions, learn quickly, and build long-term careers in occupational hygiene.
