What You Bring to the Table

You’re an experienced HR leader or senior HR business partner with exposure to both corporate and operational environments. You bring structure, confidence, and commercial awareness to every conversation – and thrive on creating clarity in complex settings.

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience leading strategic and operational HR initiatives across multiple sites.
• Strength in organisational design, change management, and transformation.
• Sound understanding of safety, compliance, and employee relations.
• A coaching mindset with the ability to mentor and influence across all levels.
• A genuine passion for people and culture, paired with a pragmatic, down-to-earth approach.

Travel will be part of your rhythm, with regular visits to regional sites to stay connected with teams on the ground.
