Dowsing Group is a family-owned, multidisciplinary civil contractor delivering specialised infrastructure services to government and private sector clients across Australia.

We self-perform a broad range of services, including civil construction, road works, concrete footpaths and kerbing, slipform construction, road profiling, and diamond grinding.

The role

Reporting directly to the HR Manager, this is a hands-on generalist role covering the full HR lifecycle. You'll be the first point of contact for employees, supervisors and managers across the business – handling everything from recruitment and onboarding through to day-to-day advisory, compliance, and ER support.

- Onboarding and contract preparation for new starters
- Day-to-day HR advice to employees and managers on policies, awards, and people matters
- Supporting performance management, probation reviews, and ER matters




- Maintaining accurate employee records in our HRIS (ELMO)
- Contributing to reporting, policy implementation, and continuous improvement

What we're looking for

- 2+ years in an HR Officer or similar generalist role
- Solid understanding of Australian employment legislation, Modern Awards and EAs
- Strong end-to-end recruitment experience
- Comfortable working across a blue-collar, multi-site workforce – construction or civil industry experience is a plus
- Proficient in Microsoft Office; ELMO experience advantageous
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- We'll also consider solid candidates from a recruitment background who are looking to broaden into a generalist HR role.

What's on offer

- Competitive salary + Employee Benefits
