Senior Manager - EHS & Facilities

We are passionate about making unique, quality medical devices and connecting with people to improve lives. Founded on inventing, manufacturing and delivering medical devices, we provide healthcare professionals with the tools they need to help their patients return to living. 

Our commitment to innovation involves bringing new products to market and keeping existing products relevant to a changing healthcare landscape. We believe in using our business to help people and communities thrive by creating inclusive, supportive and healthy environments. 

We are proud of our history of innovative firsts and the impact we have on patients and communities. With manufacturing facilities in Australia, Europe and North America and offices in various locations around the world, we challenge ourselves to maintain a global perspective while focusing on local impact. 

Our seven core values shape how we work with patients, customers and each other. They guide the way we collaborate, support one another and remain deeply connected to the impact of our work. 

That’s why we’re proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work®, based on feedback from our employees about our culture, leadership and the pride we share in making a difference to patients every day. We’re committed to creating an environment where people feel supported, connected and valued. 

Our community engagement program reflects our commitment to creating meaningful impact beyond the workplace through community partnerships, employee volunteering and philanthropy. We focus on key areas such as community support, education, environment, health and wellbeing, and vulnerable populations. The program encourages employee involvement and helps strengthen connections with the communities in which we live and work.
