For 140+ years, PPG has protected and beautified the world through the paints, coatings and specialty materials we make.

Behind every one of them is a workforce that needs backing - and we're looking for an HR Business Partner in Clayton to give it.

Not a policy desk. Not HR at arm's length. A hands-on partner who's in the business - close to leaders, trusted for straight advice, and shaping how it feels to work here.

It's a broad, autonomous role in a lean HR team and a fast-paced business. Your judgement counts.

The setup

Based in Clayton, on-site Monday to Thursday (remote on Fridays) - close to the business, where this role works best

Reporting into the regional HR function

Supporting both manufacturing and commercial/sales teams

Real autonomy within a lean HR structure

The culture you'll help shape

Ask our people whats best about working here, and the answer is usually with each other - supportive, professional colleagues who value teamwork and getting the job done well. In this role youll also get:

Real breadth - end-to-end HR across both manufacturing and commercial teams, no two weeks the same

Genuine autonomy - real ownership in a lean team, where your judgement counts

Career development across a global organisation

A team small enough that your work clearly matters

How youll partner

Across the full employee lifecycle, youll deliver end-to-end HR support - both business partnering and HR business services. Youll:

Coach and advise leaders on ER, performance and workplace matters

Drive OD, L&D; and succession planning

Partner on workforce planning, remuneration reviews and incentive programs

Support recruitment, onboarding and talent development





Lead and contribute to organisational change

Keep us compliant with Australian employment legislation and policy

Improve HR processes and the employee experience

How you make an impact

Leaders who come to you early, not late

ER matters handled cleanly and pragmatically

OD and L&D; initiatives that actually land

People supported through change, not blindsided by it

HR seen as a partner to the business - not a handbrake

How you thrive

Proven experience in an HRBP or HR Generalist role, providing hands-on, end-to-end HR support across the employee lifecycle

Comfortable in a matrix organisation, supporting both industrial/manufacturing and commercial/sales teams

Strong Australian employment relations and legislation knowledge

Depth across OD, L&D;, performance management and incentive programs

The ability to work autonomously in a lean team

A commercial mindset and the confidence to influence at all levels

Exposure to both high-growth and more complex, turnaround-style environments will serve you well here.

If you like sitting behind policy, this isnt your role.

If you like being in the business, close to leaders, shaping how it feels to work here - youll thrive.

Ready to bring out the best?





If youre ready to partner closely with leaders and help great people do their best work, we want to hear from you.

Performance that protects starts with people.
