About the Company
 
We are a well established, proudly Australian owned manufacturing company with a strong track record and a genuine commitment to our people.  Our culture is one where high care and high challenge go hand in hand, we invest meaningfully in our team's growth and wellbeing and hold everyone to a high standard.

This is a hands on, visible People & Culture role at the heart of the business, not a corporate support function. You'll work directly with the leadership team and be the go to person for people matters across a multi site operation.
 
The Role
 
Reporting to the CEO, the People & Culture Manager leads the end to end delivery of the people lifecycle across the business.  You'll manage a small team and partner closely with senior leaders to deliver practical, commercially minded HR support.
 
This is a generalist role with real breadth, from ER and EAs through to talent management, culture programs and people reporting.  You'll need to be equally comfortable advising on a conduct matter in the morning and presenting workforce data to the leadership team in the afternoon.
 
What You'll Do

• Serve as the primary HR adviser to managers across all business functions
• Lead, develop and support the P&C Advisor, Safety Advisor and Payroll Lead
• Manage employee relations matters end to end, investigations, performance processes, etc.
• Negotiate, interpret and ensure compliance with the EA and relevant Modern Awards
• Coordinate recruitment, onboarding, performance review cycles and workforce planning activity
• Administer remuneration frameworks, support annual salary reviews and advise on EA/Award entitlements
• Develop and coordinate training programs aligned to business capability needs
• Maintain compliant HR systems, documentation and employment contracts
• Drive culture initiatives aligned to the company's values and people strategy
• Produce people data reporting and surface insights for leadership decision making

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of HR generalist experience, including at least 2 years in a leadership HR role
• Strong working knowledge of the FWA, Modern Awards and EA interpretation and negotiation
• Demonstrated end to end experience managing ER cases including investigations and disciplinary processes
• Confident, credible communicator, able to simplify complex HR matters for non HR audiences
• Comfortable operating with autonomy, managing competing priorities and making sound judgement calls
• Experience in a manufacturing, industrial or comparable environment preferred
• Tertiary qualification in HR, Business, Psychology or related field; postgraduate qualifications well regarded

What's on Offer

• A senior, standalone role with real influence and direct access to the CEO
• A supportive, values driven workplace with a genuine commitment to its people
• Stability and purpose in an Australian owned business with a long history and a clear growth strategy
• A strong team culture where accountability and care are not in conflict

We're committed to building a team where everyone feels supported and valued.
