Join a business where no two days are the same

At Norco, we are more than Australia's oldest and largest dairy co-operative.

Since 1895, we have been proudly farmer-owned and community-focused, with a purpose deeply rooted in supporting regional Australia and creating sustainable success for our members, employees, customers and communities. Our values of Authenticity, Connection, Diversity and Agility guide how we work and how we support each other every day.

We are looking for an experienced People & Culture Business Partner to join our collaborative and highly regarded People & Culture team based at our Labrador office.

This is a senior opportunity for a trusted HR professional who thrives on building strong relationships and can confidently manage people matters across a diverse operational portfolio. You'll partner with leaders across some of the most interesting and diverse parts of our business, including AgriSolutions, Commercial and Corporate functions, supporting employees working in offices, retail environments, agricultural operations and regional locations.

Why Join Norco?

This role offers the best of both worlds: strategic business partnering combined with meaningful face-to-face engagement across our operational sites.

You'll enjoy:

- Working with a supportive, experienced and close-knit People & Culture team
- Exposure to a diverse portfolio spanning corporate, commercial, retail and agricultural operations
- Regular travel throughout regional and rural communities, building genuine relationships with leaders and employees
- The opportunity to influence culture, capability, engagement and organisational performance
- A varied role where no two days are the same
- Autonomy, variety and the ability to make a real impact
- Joining a business with over 130 years of history, strong values and a genuine commitment to its people

Our Employee Value Proposition

At Norco, we believe great people deserve great support. That's why we offer:

- Flexible work arrangements




- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Learning and development opportunities
- Health and wellbeing initiatives, including Fitness Passport
- Employee benefits and discounts including AgriSolutions discounts
- Novated leasing
- Purchased leave options
- Access to our superannuation and medical Insurance partners
- Opportunities to contribute to meaningful projects and business improvement initiatives
- The chance to make a difference in the communities where we live and work

About the Role

As a trusted advisor to leaders, you will provide both strategic and operational people solutions across your portfolio, helping leaders build capable, engaged and high-performing teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Coaching and supporting leaders through employee and industrial relations matters
- Conducting and managing workplace investigations and providing recommendations to support fair and compliant outcomes
- Providing expert advice on employment legislation, enterprise agreements, workplace policies and risk mitigation
- Workforce planning, recruitment and onboarding
- Building leadership capability through coaching, mentoring and development programs
- Driving performance, talent and succession management processes
- Leading culture, engagement and wellbeing initiatives across your portfolio
- Contributing to People & Culture projects, continuous improvement initiatives and strategic priorities
- Supporting HR policy development, compliance and governance activities

You will partner closely with operational and business leaders,



translating business priorities into people strategies that strengthen capability, performance and culture.

About You

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

- Experience in a HR Business Partner or Senior HR Advisor role
- Demonstrated experience managing employee relations matters, workplace investigations, grievances and performance improvement processes
- Robust knowledge of Australian employment legislation, industrial relations frameworks and contemporary HR practices
- Experience supporting multi-site and operational workforces
- Experience interpreting and applying enterprise agreements, awards and workplace policies
- Proven ability to influence, challenge and coach leaders through complex and sensitive people matters
- Experience supporting multi-site workforces across operational environments
- Exceptional stakeholder management and relationship-building skills
- A pragmatic, commercially focused and solutions-driven approach
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Willingness to travel to regional and rural locations to support your portfolio
- Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources, Business, Industrial Relations, Psychology or a related discipline
- A current driver licence and the flexibility to travel as required

Why This Role Stands Out

Not many HR roles offer the chance to work alongside corporate professionals one day, support a rural retail team the next, and then spend time with operational leaders in regional communities across our network.

If you are looking for a role where you can build meaningful relationships, contribute to a strong culture, and help shape the future of a proudly Australian co-operative, we would love to hear from you.
