Job description

About the Organisation:

This is an opportunity to join a highly respected national organisation with a long standing reputation for operational excellence, strong values and sustained growth. With a significant footprint across Australia, the organisation has built a culture centred on empowerment, accountability and developing people from within. The business is experiencing continued growth and evolution, creating an exciting environment for this newly created role.

About the Role:

This is a hands on advisory opportunity for an experienced HR or employee relations professional to provide timely, practical and accurate guidance to leaders across operational and functional areas.

You will coach leaders through performance management and complex people matters, conduct workplace investigations, resolve grievances and provide advice on legislation, awards and Enterprise Agreements across Australia and New Zealand. You will also support employment contract variations, casual conversion matters and flexible work requests.

Beyond day to day case management, you will contribute to the continued development of the broader people relations function. This includes improving policies, processes, systems and tools, developing leadership education resources and supporting internal reporting and wider People and Culture initiatives.

About You:

You are an experienced HR Business Partner, HR generalist or employee relations professional with strong knowledge of workplace relations legislation, awards, agreements and HR policy.

You are confident coaching leaders remotely and can translate complex employment requirements into practical, commercially considered advice. Your written and verbal communication skills are excellent, and you bring sound consultation, negotiation and stakeholder engagement capability.

You will be approachable, proactive and comfortable influencing decisions while balancing compliance, organisational culture and positive employee outcomes. Experience supporting a dispersed operational workforce will be highly regarded.

Why Apply?

It is a great time to join this organisation who has experienced year-on-year growth. If you are seeking a change, job stability or the next step in their career, this organisation is one with strong culture and values.

This is an opportunity to build trusted relationships, influence leadership decisions and deliver practical people outcomes across Australia and New Zealand. You will enjoy genuine ownership, varied and meaningful work, and the opportunity to improve the tools, practices and education that support effective people leadership across a complex organisation.
