Job Description

For over 65 years, JK Williams has been more than a civil contractor — we've been builders of communities, forgers of lasting relationships, and dedicated to establishing a legacy of excellence across Australia's east coast.

n

As a proud family-owned business, we know that our greatest asset isn't the machinery we operate or the infrastructure we deliver — it's our people. The dedication, expertise, and commitment of our team is what has made us a recognised leader in civil construction and infrastructure, known for innovation, quality, and integrity.

n

Our rich history hasn't just shaped who we are — it's positioned us for an exciting future. And we want the right people alongside us for the journey.

n

About the role

n

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.

n

It's a genuinely hands-on role. You'll work closely with the HR Manager, our Talent Acquisition Specialist, and our HSEQ team, and you'll need to be just as 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.

n

If you enjoy variety, aren't afraid of the admin that comes with a lean team, and want to make a real difference in a business that genuinely lives its values - this is the role for you.

n
- Strong written communication skills — able to produce clear, concise documentation, correspondence, and reports
n
- Comfortable working in a small, lean team where everyone contributes across all levels of the role
n
- Exposure to a construction, trades, or industrial setting is a plus but not essential
n
- Experience with an HRIS (ELMO or similar)



is advantageous
