What's the brief?

We're partnering with a growing organisation operating across the renewable energy and infrastructure space to find an experienced HR professional who can jump in and provide additional support through to the end of the year.

This is a practical, hands-on and largely standalone role supporting an Australian workforce of approximately 50 employees across engineering, project delivery and corporate functions. You'll have support and context from the broader team, but day-to-day you'll be the person keeping local HR activity moving.

Recruitment will be a big focus from the outset, with a number of active vacancies across the business. You'll keep processes moving, coordinate agency partners and hiring managers, manage approvals and support contracts and onboarding.

But this isn't purely a recruitment role.

October brings the employee engagement survey and promotion cycle, followed by end-of-year performance activity through November and December. Alongside that, you'll manage general HR queries, support managers with day-to-day people matters and help keep the broader HR function running smoothly.

You'll have support and organisational context around you, but they need someone experienced enough to pick things up quickly, use their judgement and operate without significant handholding.

Is This Your Perfect Match?

You're a practical HR generalist who enjoys getting stuck into the day-to-day.

You're comfortable juggling recruitment, onboarding, employee queries,



systems and people processes, and you don't need everything mapped out for you before you can get moving.

Recruitment experience will be particularly useful. You'll be managing multiple vacancies at once and coordinating external recruitment partners, so you're organised and good at keeping hiring managers and processes on track.

You'll also be comfortable providing managers with practical advice on routine employee and performance matters, while knowing when something needs to be escalated.

Most importantly, you're happy stepping into an existing environment, picking things up quickly and helping keep everything moving during a busy few months.
