Job Description
Permanent Full-Time | Eastern Suburbs | Construction
An established and growing construction business is looking for an experienced HR Manager to take ownership of its people function and work closely with senior leadership across the organisation.
This is a broad, hands-on generalist role where you'll have genuine visibility across the business and the opportunity to influence how people are recruited, supported, developed and retained.
You'll be joining a fast-paced, project-driven environment where HR is expected to be practical, commercially aware and connected to the day-to-day needs of the business.
The Chance As HR Manager, you'll manage the HR function across the full employee lifecycle while acting as a trusted partner to managers and employees.
The role combines operational HR, employee relations and recruitment with longer-term initiatives across performance, capability, engagement and workforce planning.
You'll have the autonomy to take ownership, improve existing processes and help shape the people practices of a business that continues to grow.
What You'll Be Doing
Provide practical HR and employee relations advice to managers and employees
Manage recruitment and workforce resourcing across the business
Oversee the employee lifecycle from onboarding and probation through to performance management and offboarding
Prepare employment contracts, variations, correspondence and HR documentation
Manage employee relations matters, including performance, conduct and disciplinary processes
Coordinate performance and remuneration review processes
Identify training and development needs and support capability-building initiatives
Partner with leaders on workforce planning, succession and employee retention




Develop initiatives that support employee engagement and a positive workplace culture
Maintain HR policies, processes and documentation in line with Australian employment legislation
Drive improvements across HR systems, processes and reporting
Support broader people and culture projects as the business continues to evolve
You'll Ideally Bring
5+ years' experience in a broad HR generalist role
Strong working knowledge of Australian employment legislation and HR best practice
Demonstrated experience managing employee relations and performance matters
Experience across recruitment, onboarding, HR operations and the broader employee lifecycle
Confidence partnering with senior leaders and providing pragmatic HR advice
Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships across different levels of a business
Excellent organisation and the ability to manage multiple priorities
A practical, proactive and solutions-focused approach
Must have - Australian Citizenship or Permanent Residency
Experience within construction, engineering, property or another project-based environment would be highly regarded, but strong HR generalists from similarly fast-paced industries are also encouraged to apply.
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can genuinely own the HR function rather than operate within one small part of it.
You'll work closely with senior decision-makers, have visibility across the organisation and be able to make tangible improvements to the employee experience, HR processes and wider people strategy.
If you're an experienced HR professional looking for a broad role with autonomy, influence and the opportunity to make your mark within a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
