You’re probably not looking. That’s exactly why we’re talking to you.

The best person for this job already has a job. If that’s you, keep reading — this is the top HR seat in one of Queensland’s largest, fastest-growing family-owned automotive groups, reporting straight to the Director, with a team behind you and real room to build something that’s yours.

Westpoint Autos Group is a large, successful, family-owned Automotive Dealer Group in Queensland, operating from Beaudesert to Bowen and headquartered in Brisbane’s western suburbs. The Group includes Westpoint Autos, Whitsunday Autos, Beaudesert Auto Group and Salters Cars, spanning new vehicle OEM dealerships, authorised service and repair workshops, a 4WD & Off-Road Superstore, an independent finance and brokerage business, a rideshare and subscription partnership, and one of the largest used vehicle operations in Queensland.

We’re growing, and growth creates people problems that spreadsheets and policies alone don’t solve. We’re not after someone who needs a job. We’re after someone who’s outgrown their current one — who wants direct access to the Director, a real mandate, and the autonomy to shape how a multi-site group looks after its biggest asset: its people.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Director and working hand-in-hand with the Leadership Team, this is a hands-on, high-influence role covering the full employee lifecycle across every part of the business. You won’t be doing it alone — you’ll lead a small HR team, including a dedicated Payroll Coordinator, giving you the support to focus on strategy as well as execution.

What You’ll Own





- Team leadership: lead and develop the HR team, including oversight of payroll, to keep the function accurate, compliant and running tight.
- Strategic partnering: work alongside the Leadership Team to shape HR strategy that drives growth, efficiency and results.
- Talent acquisition and onboarding: run end-to-end recruitment and build an onboarding experience people actually remember.
- Employee relations: be the trusted go-to on conflict resolution, disciplinary matters and grievances, while keeping culture strong.
- Performance management: lead performance reviews, help set departmental KPIs, and coach managers through performance issues.
- Reward and recognition: build and manage group-wide recognition programs that people care about.
- Training and development: identify skill gaps and build training that lifts customer service, technical capability and leadership — with a genuine focus on promoting from within.
- Compliance and policy: keep HR policy sharp and current against the Fair Work Act and automotive industry standards.
- Remuneration and perks: design competitive pay structures, commission and bonus schemes, and wage reviews that stack up against budget and manufacturer expectations.
- Workforce planning:



build workforce plans that support business growth and give employees a real career path.
- WHS: work with Department Managers to keep every site compliant — safety training, fire safety, first aid.

What You’ll Bring

- Solid HR leadership experience in a large, complex, growing organisation.
- Relevant tertiary qualifications.
- Automotive industry experience is a plus, not a must-have.
- The drive to lead, inspire and get the best out of people — and the commercial instinct to know what actually moves the needle.
