Ready to make the jump from HRBP to genuine leadership? This one's a step up.

- True ownership and building from scratch
- A genuine leadership pathway (succession, not just a job)
- Rare commercial exposure for an HR role

Company overview:

Our client is a global heavy industry business going through an exciting growth phase, with new ownership set to bring even bigger opportunities across the region. They're looking for a Senior HRBP to be the right hand to their Regional HR Manager, APAC — someone ready to own their own patch and grow into a leadership role as the business scales.

You'll be working across a genuinely blue-collar, industrial workforce (~120 people across office, workshop and field), leading on everything from EA/IR strategy through to coaching leaders and shaping the regional people plan. You'll join a small, tight-knit HR team of 4 (soon to be 5 as the recent strategy firms up), with plenty of room to mentor and help grow the more junior members of the team.

What you'll be doing:

- Acting as right-hand to the Regional HR Manager APAC — stepping in and leading when needed
- Owning workforce planning, org design and succession strategy for the region
- Leading EA/IR strategy, Fair Work matters and complex ER issues
- Coaching leaders at all levels — including first-time leaders straight off the tools




- Leading the people side of a major business transformation
- Mentoring and growing the wider HR team

What you'll bring:

- 8-10 years' progressive HR experience (HRBP, Principal HR Advisor or similar)
- Solid experience in blue-collar / industrial / manufacturing environments
- Robust knowledge of Enterprise Agreements, Awards and Australian employment law
- A genuine want to grow into a leadership role — this isn't a role for someone looking to coast
- Confidence coaching and influencing leaders and senior stakeholders
- A bit of resilience — this is a hands-on environment, and things won't always be neat and tidy

Nice to have :

- Willingness and ability to coach, mentor and grow the more junior members of the HR team
- Experience writing policies, templates and procedures from scratch
- Exposure to FWC matters or unionised workforces
- Experience across multi-site or FIFO operations
- If you don't have the industry background above, a genuine desire to give this kind of environment a go

Next Steps:

This is a rare one real autonomy, a genuine leadership pathway, and a business entering a serious growth chapter. If you've been looking for the role that gets you out of the individual contributor grind, this is it.
