About The Role

This is a broad, generalist HR Advisor role supporting our NSW and QLD workforce. You’ll be the go‑to for day‑to‑day HR across the full employee lifecycle – from onboarding and compliance through to employee relations, return‑to‑work coordination, and culture initiatives.

It’s a genuinely hands‑on role. You’ll work closely with the HR Manager, our Talent Acquisition Specialist, and our HSEQ team. You’ll need to be comfortable drafting a letter of concern as you are managing a RTW plan, running an engagement survey, or updating records in ELMO. Site visits are part of the role from time to time.

What You’ll Be Doing

- Providing day‑to‑day HR advice and support to managers and employees across NSW and QLD
- Managing employee relations matters – performance management, disciplinary processes, grievances, and workplace investigations
- Owning return‑to‑work coordination for injured workers, including liaising with treating doctors, rehabilitation providers, insurers, and managers to achieve positive RTW outcomes
- Working collaboratively with the HSEQ team on workers’ compensation, injury management, and safety incident matters
- Supporting onboarding and induction for recent starters, and coordinating performance review cycles
- Maintaining and administering our HRIS (ELMO)
- Supporting culture and engagement initiatives, recognition programs, and employee feedback processes
- Ensuring compliance with the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards, and internal policies
- Handling HR administration, reporting, uniform and PPE ordering, and general support to the HR Manager
- Participating in external audits and maintaining the company’s Integrated Management System





What We’re Looking For

- 3‑5 years’ experience in a generalist HR role
- Solid working knowledge of the Fair Work Act, NES, and Modern Awards
- Hands‑on experience with employee relations – confident advising on performance, conduct, and grievance processes
- Experience with return‑to‑work and workers’ compensation coordination is highly regarded
- Strong written communication skills – able to produce clear, concise documentation, correspondence, and reports
- Comfortable working in a small, lean team where everyone contributes across all levels of the role
- Exposure to a construction, trades, or industrial environment is a plus but not essential
- Experience with an HRIS (ELMO or similar) is advantageous

Qualifications & Licences

Relevant qualification in Human Resources or demonstrated equivalent experience

- Current driver’s licence (Class C)
- General Construction Induction Card (Whitecard), or willingness to obtain
- Return‑to‑Work Coordination training (desirable)

What’s On Offer
