With a global fleet that serves major trade routes - offering cargo transportation, inland logistics and intermodal solutions - we are committed to transport and logistics solutions connecting communities, customers and international business partners all over the world.

The Opportunity

As a HR team, we are focused on strategic and impactful HR through a focus on continuous improvement, the employee experience and compliance/best practice.

We are seeking an experienced HR Professional with experience in employment relations, HR case management, and HR Projects, to join our National Human Resources Team at MSC Australia.

This role is a permanent full-time position based in our Fremantle Head Office, reporting to the National Human Resources Manager, and supports our office-based Employees and Managers Australia-wide.

If you are an HR professional looking for a role where you can make a significant impact, grow your career, and are ready to 'roll with the tides' of global shipping - we encourage you to apply.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities:

As with most HR roles, no two days are the same - but this is even more so in the world of global shipping!

The Human Resources Business Partner is responsible for resolving complex people matters, building manager confidence and capability through robust HR/ER advice and guidance, and taking ownership of HR and WHS projects across the various stages of the employee lifecycle.

One day you could be hosting training across Australia and New Zealand, the next designing a new policy/procedure, conducting a workplace investigation, detailed analysis/research on an emerging topic, or working closely with a department on tailored team development.





This position will also assist with Workplace Health and Safety, including reporting, injury management, projects, development, and general compliance. Experience in WHS is therefore highly regarded, but not essential.

Key Responsibilities include

- HR and WHS case management including workplace investigations, mediations, and general grievance handling.
- Providing assistance, support, and guidance to leaders and employees on policies, procedures, the MSC Australia Enterprise Agreement, legislation, contract terms, etc.
- Policy and Procedure updates and/or creation.
- Contribute to and/or lead HR and WHS projects.
- HR and WHS reviews/audits, including process mapping and redesign.
- Contribute to National HR strategy, and assist in compliance with the global strategy.
- HR and WHS data analytics and research.

Qualifications and Skills: The ideal candidate will have a passion for the employee experience and bringing out the best in others, a proactive approach to problem-solving, be comfortable with change, and a keen interest in staying current with employment law and HR best practice.

This role would greatly suit a Employment Relations/Workplace Relations Advisor who would like more exposure to the wider employment lifecycle outside of case management.

- Tertiary qualification/s in Human Resources, Employment Relations, Law, Psychology, Health and Safety, or similar areas.
- Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI) membership is highly desirable.
- Evidence-based approach to HR through case law, studies, etc and appropriate research.




- Proactive approach to work with a focus on problem-solving, including spotting opportunities to add value, or prevent issues before they arise.
- Experience with competing priorities.
- Passion for enhancing the employee experience.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships across different employee levels.
- Experience within shipping, transport or logistics industries is advantageous, but not a requirement.

Please note: Full Australian working rights are required. Sponsorship is not available. Why Join MSC?
