The Opportunity
An established Mackay organisation is seeking an experienced HR, Recruitment & Payroll Coordinator to join its team in a broad, hands-on role.
This is a great opportunity for an HR all-rounder who enjoys variety and wants ownership across recruitment, payroll, employee relations and general HR operations.
A major focus will be recruiting for large projects, including trade-based roles such as Boilermakers and Fitters, while also overseeing weekly payroll, Awards, WorkCover and day-to-day HR support.
You will work closely with senior management and be supported by an existing Recruitment Officer.

Hands-on payroll processing experience
Confidence interpreting Awards, allowances, overtime and employee entitlements

Why Apply?

You will work closely with management and project teams, have the support of an existing Recruitment Officer, and play an important part in supporting the organisation's ongoing projects and workforce.
