- Provide first-line HR advice and support to managers on policies, procedures, and people-related matters
- Monitor and maintain training records and employee certifications.
- Assist with workplace investigations, employee relations, and policy implementation
- Liaise with production and administration teams to support quality and operational documentation

**What You Bring**
- Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources, Business, or a related field
- 2-3 years’ experience in a HR support or generalist role, ideally within a manufacturing or trade-based environment
- Strong working knowledge of Fair Work legislation, NES, and Modern Awards

- Confidence in drafting HR documentation, contracts, and internal policies
- Well-organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
- A proactive, can-do attitude and a willingness to support across departments
- Full Australian working rights

**What You’ll Get**
- Competitive salary package
- A values-driven, close-knit team environment
- Opportunities for professional growth and leadership
- The chance to help shape the employee experience at a growing, purpose-driven company
