HR Advisor

Be the People Power Behind the Lifting Power

Ready to take your HR career to new heights? At Advanced Cranes and Rigging, we're looking for a proactive, confident HR Advisor who thrives in a hands-on, high-growth environment. If you're someone who knows how to support a workforce from the ground up and isn't afraid to step into the action—you might be the person we're looking for.

About Us

With over 20 years of experience, Advanced Cranes and Rigging is a leading provider of lifting solutions across Australia. We support Tier 1 government infrastructure and major private sector projects with a state-of-the-art fleet ranging from 3t to 1200t. Our reputation is built on safety, reliability, and innovation—underpinned by ISO45001 accreditation and a team that lives our values of integrity, quality, and continuous improvement.

About the Role

Previously advertised as an HR Coordinator role, this position has evolved to focus on a broader, more autonomous HR Advisor level — reflecting our business growth and increasing complexity. Based in Derrimut or Ballarat, this full-time position is a unique opportunity for a motivated HR Advisor to have a real impact in a growing and fast-paced business. You'll deliver end-to-end HR support across multiple worksites, working directly with operational leaders and teams to ensure our people practices scale alongside our projects.

Key Responsibilities

As part of a national business on the rise, you'll play a central role in shaping our people systems and supporting leaders across our workforce.

Lead and coordinate end-to-end recruitment and selection – including job design, advertising, candidate screening, interviews, and onboarding

Partner with managers to navigate complex employee relations and performance matters, including preparing for and participating in challenging conversations to ensure fair, timely, and constructive outcomes

Coach and support supervisors and team leaders on staff development, performance management, and day-to-day HR queries

Plan and oversee talent management activities, including onboarding, probation reviews, development planning, and workforce planning

Maintain and refine HR policies, templates, and procedures to keep pace with business growth, legal obligations, and operational needs

Identify and implement improvements to HR processes and systems that support scalability and efficiency as the business expands

Support employee engagement and cultural initiatives, helping teams feel connected, valued, and aligned with company values

Be a visible and approachable HR presence, working closely with operational teams—not just from behind a desk—to provide real-time, practical HR support

What We're Looking For

We're after a confident, capable HR professional who understands the pace and demands of a construction blue-collar environment. You'll be someone who takes initiative, builds trust quickly, and brings a practical, solution-focused approach to everything you do.

You'll bring:

Proven experience in an HR Advisor or generalist HR role, ideally in construction, civil, logistics, or related sectors

Strong understanding of Fair Work legislation, EA /Award interpretation, and compliance frameworks

Confidence to operate with autonomy, while knowing when to collaborate or escalate

A hands-on, outcomes-driven approach—you're responsive, grounded, and focused on what works in the field

Excellent communication skills with the ability to coach, advise, and influence across levels

Flexibility, resilience, and the ability to adapt as the business continues to grow

What We Offer

A high-impact HR Advisor role with scope to own and shape key people processes

A fast-growing, values-led business delivering nationally-recognised infrastructure projects

A down-to-earth, practical team that values initiative, trust, and accountability

Exposure to real-world, boots-on-the-ground HR challenges across multiple worksites

Flexibility to be based in either Derrimut or Ballarat, with site travel as-required

Career development opportunities as the business continues to expand
