Job Description
Ironbark No 1 mine is located in Queensland's Bowen Basin, approximately 30km north-east of Moranbah and 160km from Mackay and forms part of the broader Argo Complex. This integrated mining complex includes the Carborough Board & Pillar and Broadlea Open Cut Mines, as well as a centralised Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP), where collaboration between our sites and teams is key to delivering safe and efficient outcomes.

BUILT FOR THIS? This is a genuine hands‐on role—and includes the grunt work. You won't just be advising from the sidelines; you'll be in it end‐to‐end. From drafting letters and managing documentation to chasing paperwork, updating systems, and keeping processes moving, you'll own the detail as much as the conversations – where no task is too small if it supports the operation.
n
This HR role is heavily operational in nature, with the day‐to‐day workload and priorities largely determined by the operational demands of Ironbark – not driven by broader HR activity; you will partner with site leaders and build relationships with our workforce underground as a key focus.

Proven experience in a generalist HR role, ideally within a fast-paced or operational environment (e.g. mining, construction, manufacturing, or heavy industry).

Strong administrative capability with, payroll, timesheets, end-to-end recruitment and onboarding experience, Microsoft (especially Excel) and HRIS experience.
