We're seeking a proactive, hands-on Part Time HR Officer to join our team 3 days per week.
Reporting to Senior Management, you'll be the go-to person for all things people-related — from recruiting new talent to keeping our policies, compliance, and employee relations running smoothly.
This is a broad generalist role, ideal for someone who enjoys variety and wants genuine ownership of the HR function in a growing business.
Key responsibilities
Manage end-to-end recruitment: writing ads, screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and extending offers
Coordinate pre-employment checks (working rights, licences, tickets/certifications relevant to shipyard work)
Design and deliver a smooth onboarding and induction experience for new starters, including site inductions
Act as a trusted first point of contact for staff and managers on day-to-day HR matters
Support performance management, grievance handling, and conflict resolution
Help foster a positive, safety-first workplace culture
Maintain and update HR policies and procedures to keep pace with legislation and business needs
Support Work Health & Safety (WHS) compliance in a shipyard/industrial environment, including incident documentation and training records
Ensure compliance with the Fair Work Act, relevant Awards, and other employment obligations
Support payroll processing and liaise with finance on pay, leave, and entitlement queries
About you




Proven experience in a generalist HR role, ideally within construction, marine, manufacturing, or another trades-based/industrial environment
Solid working knowledge of Australian employment law, the Fair Work Act, and relevant Modern Awards
Practical understanding of WHS obligations and experience supporting safety compliance
Confident handling recruitment end-to-end, from sourcing through to onboarding
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the judgement to handle sensitive matters discreetly
Highly organised, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities across 3 days a week
Tertiary qualification in Human Resources, Business, or a related field (desirable but not essential with strong relevant experience)
Experience with payroll systems and HR/HRIS software is a plus
