About the Opportunity

We're looking for an HR Advisor to come in and genuinely own the function.
Our client is a specialist labour-hire and apprenticeship business, placing electrical and civil apprentices with major industrial and construction contractors across Victoria, NSW and Queensland. They're growing quick, and HR has never had a dedicated home. That's where you come in.

This is a newly created role, reporting straight to the General Manager. You'll have real scope to build things your way - systems, policies, the lot.

About the Role
Ensure compliance with Fair Work legislation, apprenticeship contracts, EBAs and WHS requirements
Develop and maintain HR policies tailored to the business's needs
Provide practical, sound advice on employee relations and compliance matters
Manage the full performance cycle, from KPI tracking through to more difficult conversations
Engage effectively with a young, construction-industry workforce that values direct, honest communication
Hold people accountable while maintaining robust working relationships
Deliver end-to-end recruitment and onboarding for internal employees
Lead the selection and implementation of a proper HR information system, building from the ground up




Contribute to how the business supports and looks after its people as it continues to grow

About You

You've got real, foundational HR experience - maybe you're a Coordinator ready for more responsibility, or already working at Advisor level and craving more ownership. Either way, you’re driven to have a seat at the table.

You'll bring:
A solid handle on Fair Work, apprenticeships and awards - or the drive to get across it fast
Someone who can work independently and isn't waiting to be told what to do next
Resilience and a positive sense of humour
An easy-going, down-to-earth style, with the backbone to have firm conversations when it counts
A builder's mindset

What's On Offer
A greenfield state with real influence over how HR takes shape here
A 33-hour week (Mon–Thu 7-hour days, 5-hour Friday, 8:30 am start) paid at full-time rate, with some flexibility for the right person
Direct line to the GM and Director - no layers, no red tape
A team that genuinely cares about doing right by its people
