Your Day-to-Day

• Manage investigations, performance issues, grievances, and disciplinary processes.
• Coach and guide leaders and P&C team members through complex ER matters.
• Liaise with legal and external parties including Fair Work as needed.
• Support enterprise agreement interpretation and maintain ER case reporting.
• Provide generalist HR support across performance, engagement, and workforce planning.
• Monitor legislation changes and update policies as needed.
• Foster a culture of trust, fairness, and psychological safety.

About You

• 3+ years experience in workplace or employee relations.
• Knowledge of employment legislation, modern awards, and enterprise agreements.
• Experience in the retail or logistics sector (desirable).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Able to build trusted relationships with both frontline leaders and support office peers.

• Can travel to the Distribution Centre when needed

Why Join Us
