- 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.
We are looking for a confident, approachable and solutions-focused HR professional who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting involved.
Ideally, you will bring:
- 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.

- Strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to advise managers at all levels.
- A practical, adaptable and commercially minded approach to HR.

- 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.
