A hands-on HR role where your judgement, relationships and ability to get things done really matter.
CAVBUS Group is a family-owned passenger transport business operating across multiple locations in South East Queensland.
We're looking for an experienced HR Advisor to take ownership of the day-to-day HR function across our growing workforce. This is not a role where you'll spend your days sitting behind a desk writing policies — you'll be working closely with managers, depot teams and employees, providing practical HR advice, managing employee relations matters, supporting recruitment and helping keep our people practices compliant, consistent and workable in a busy operational environment.
You'll report to the General Manager, with genuine scope to own and shape the HR function. A solid foundation is already in place — HR policies, a WHS management system, onboarding processes and BrightHR are all established — so this isn't a build-from-scratch role. What it does need is someone who can operate with real autonomy, use sound judgement in situations that aren't always straightforward, and keep that foundation moving forward rather than just maintaining it.
