About Multotec

Multotec is a privately owned engineering and manufacturing business supplying mineral processing solutions to the mining industry throughout Australia and globally through the broader Multotec Group.

With approximately 200 employees across multiple locations, we design, manufacture, supply and support equipment used in some of the world's largest mining operations.

We have grown significantly over the years, however our people management approach has remained intentionally practical and hands-on. We believe in supporting our people, developing capability, solving problems quickly and focusing on outcomes rather than bureaucracy.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking an experienced Human Resources Manager to work closely with our Managing Director, Executive Team and operational leaders to strengthen our workforce capability and support the long-term success of the business.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional corporate HR role.

We are looking for a practical, commercially minded HR professional who enjoys working across all levels of a business—from factory operators and field service personnel through to managers and executives.

The successful candidate will become a trusted advisor to the Managing Director and Executive Leadership Team, helping to strengthen leadership capability, improve workforce planning, support recruitment and retention initiatives, and provide practical HR guidance across the organisation.

Approximately 70% of the role will be hands-on operational HR and workforce support, with the remaining 30% focused on strategic workforce capability and organisational development.

This role reports directly to the Managing Director and works closely with the Executive Leadership Team, supporting business leaders across all functions. The position works alongside Finance, Operations, HSEQ and branch leadership teams to strengthen workforce capability, support business objectives and improve organisational effectiveness across the business.

The role will also work closely with existing HR and administration resources, ensuring effective delivery of HR administration, employment processes and workforce systems while allowing senior business leaders to focus on strategic and operational priorities.

Discretion, judgement and professionalism are critical.

Our Culture

We are an owner-operated business built on accountability, practical thinking and a strong customer focus.

We value people who roll up their sleeves, solve problems and work collaboratively across all levels of the organisation. Titles matter less than outcomes, and some of the best ideas come from the people closest to the work.

Our leaders are expected to support one another, develop their teams and make decisions that benefit the business as a whole rather than individual departments.

This role is not about creating bureaucracy or building an HR empire. It is about supporting our leaders, developing our people and helping the business continue to grow in a sustainable and practical way.
