• Advise managers on HR policies, employment legislation and workplace best practices.
• Support workforce planning, employee engagement and retention initiatives.
• Assist with the development and continuous improvement of HR policies, procedures and systems.
• Build strong relationships with operational stakeholders and provide practical solutions to people-related challenges.

• Previous experience in an HR Advisor or broad generalist HR role.
• Experience within construction, engineering, infrastructure or another operationally focused industry.
• Experience using Employment Hero, ideally across HR administration, employee records and onboarding processes.
• Experience supporting geographically dispersed teams, ideally including offshore employees.
• Sound knowledge of Australian employment legislation, employee relations and Fair Work requirements.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to advise managers at all levels.
• A practical, adaptable and commercially minded approach to HR.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.

What's on Offer?

• 12-month fixed-term contract with an established business in the construction sector.
• Broad generalist exposure across employee relations, HR operations, systems and workforce support.
• Diverse workforce with the opportunity to support both Australian and offshore teams.
• Genuine autonomy and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.
• Fast-paced, hands-on environment where your work will have a direct impact on the business.
