Brisbane | Construction & Trades | Excellent Career Development Opportunity
Are you early in your
HR career
and looking for an chance where you can gain genuine exposure across the entire employee lifecycle instead of being limited to administration?
We are partnering with an established and growing
Brisbane construction and trade services group
looking to appoint an enthusiastic
HR & WHS Coordinator
to support its expanding workforce.
Reporting directly to the
General Manager
, this is an excellent opportunity for a junior HR professional looking to accelerate their development. You'll work closely with senior management, project teams, site supervisors and an experienced WHS Advisor while gradually taking ownership of the day-to-day people function across the group.
Importantly,
you don't need to know everything from day one
. We're looking for someone with the right foundations, attitude and willingness to learn.
HR & WHS Coordinator
This is a genuinely broad HR position that will give you exposure to:
Recruitment, interviewing and onboarding
Employment contracts and position descriptions
Employee relations and performance management
HR policies, compliance and employee records
Award and EBA interpretation
Payroll support and employee changes
Training and professional development
Apprentice programs and coordination with RTOs
WHS systems, inductions and compliance registers
Incident and near-miss administration
Licence, ticket and certification management
HR and WHS reporting to senior management
You'll also work alongside an experienced
WHS Advisor
, allowing you to build valuable safety knowledge without being responsible for technical site-safety decisions.
About You
We're particularly interested in someone looking to
build a long-term career in HR within the construction industry
.
You may currently be an
HR Administrator,



HR Assistant, People & Culture Coordinator, Recruitment Coordinator or junior HR Advisor
ready for more responsibility.
Ideally, you'll bring:
Some practical experience within
HR, recruitment or people administration
A Certificate IV, Diploma or Degree in
Human Resources, Business or a related discipline
- advantageous but not essential
Exposure to
construction, trades, engineering or another project-based environment
would be highly regarded
An interest in developing your knowledge of
Awards, EBAs and employee relations
Strong administration and organisational skills
Confidence using Microsoft Word and Excel
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships with both office and site-based employees
A qualified approach when dealing with confidential information
Plenty of initiative and a willingness to learn
Previous WHS experience is
not essential
. You'll be supported by the group's WHS Advisor while developing your understanding of safety systems and compliance.
Why This Role?
For someone at the beginning of their HR career, the biggest attraction is
exposure
.
Rather than spending the next few years specialising in one small area, you'll gain hands-on experience across
recruitment, employee relations, performance, payroll, training, apprenticeships, compliance and WHS
.
You'll report directly to senior management, have genuine responsibility and be given the opportunity to grow your capability as the business continues to expand.
It's an excellent stepping stone for someone who ultimately wants to develop into an
HR Advisor, HR Manager or broader People & Culture position
.
If you're ambitious, organised, enjoy dealing with people and want to
kick-start your HR career within the construction industry
, we'd love to hear from you.
All applications will be treated in strict confidence.
