About Gen Z Trade Group
Gen Z Trade Group is a growing trade services business supporting real estate, commercial and private clients across Victoria.
Our team operates across electrical, plumbing and general maintenance services, with our head office based in Truganina.
We are now bringing our day-to-day HR support in-house and are looking for an experienced HR & Administration Coordinator to establish and manage this newly created position.
About the role
This is a new and largely standalone role, reporting directly to the Managing Director.
You will take ownership of the business's day-to-day HR function while also providing general administrative support where required. As the position is being established from the ground up, you must be confident working independently, identifying what needs to be done and developing practical processes without needing constant direction.
This is not an entry-level HR administration position. We are looking for someone with enough practical experience to confidently support management and employees across recruitment, onboarding, performance management and general workplace matters.
Experience within a trade services, construction, field service or similar fast-paced operational business would be highly regarded.
Key responsibilities
Manage recruitment, including job advertisements, candidate screening, reference checks and interview coordination
Prepare employment contracts, variation letters and other employee correspondence
Coordinate employee onboarding, probation reviews and offboarding




Maintain accurate and confidential employee records
Support management with performance management, conduct and attendance matters
Prepare meeting invitations, agendas, notes, warnings and follow‐up correspondence
Provide practical guidance regarding employment conditions, company policies, awards and workplace procedures
Review, update and implement workplace policies and internal processes
Monitor employee licences, qualifications, training and compliance requirements
Assist with leave records, payroll information and employee documentation
Support workplace investigations and coordinate external advice where required
Respond to general employee HR enquiries
Provide administrative assistance directly to the Managing Director
Develop reliable HR systems, templates and processes suitable for a growing trade business
About you
To succeed in this role, you will need:
Previous experience in an HR Coordinator, HR Officer, People and Culture or combined HR/Admin position
The ability to work independently and take ownership of the HR function
Practical knowledge of the Fair Work Act, National Employment Standards and modern awards
Confidence handling sensitive employee matters professionally and confidentially




Strong written communication and accurate record‐keeping skills
The confidence to have difficult conversations and provide clear, practical advice
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
Good judgement, discretion and attention to detail
Confidence using cloud‐based systems and Microsoft Office
Full Australian working rights
A qualification in Human Resources, Business or a related field is desirable but not essential where the applicant has strong practical experience.
Experience working with electricians, plumbers, maintenance technicians, apprentices or other field‐based employees will be highly regarded.
Hours and working arrangements
This is a permanent part-time position, expected to be approximately 20 to 24 hours per week across three days.
There is flexibility around the working days and hours for the right person. The role will operate on a hybrid basis, although regular attendance at our Truganina office will be required, particularly during onboarding, employee meetings and other matters that need to be handled in person.
Some flexibility to respond to time‐sensitive employee matters outside scheduled hours would be appreciated.
What we offer
$40 to $45 per hour plus superannuation, depending on experience
A flexible permanent part‐time arrangement
Hybrid working opportunities
Direct access to the Managing Director
The opportunity to establish and shape a newly created position
A varied role where you can make a genuine impact on the business
A growing company with employees across multiple trade divisions
