About the role
 

We're looking for a People Business Partner with strong generalist experience across core people functions.

Your remit will span a wide range of HR functions, including employee relations, performance and reward, leadership coaching, employee engagement, and talent development. With a strong focus on fostering a culture grounded in values, safety, and high performance, you'll work closely with leaders to drive meaningful outcomes for both people and the business.

• Drive employee engagement and talent development initiatives to enhance workforce capability.
• Collaborate closely with leaders to implement people strategies that promote values, safety, and business outcomes.
• Support workforce planning and navigate complex HR issues with a practical, solutions-focused approach.

About you

• Genuine partner to the business — curious, commercially aware, and committed to making a real impact through people.
• Collaborative mindset, thriving in a team environment and building strong, trusted relationships across all organisational levels.
• Broad, hands-on HR experience with the ability to support both day-to-day operational matters and strategic people initiatives.
• Skilled in navigating complex employee relations, supporting workforce planning, coaching leaders, and driving engagement.
• Open to travel as needed to stay connected and responsive to the needs of leaders and teams across multiple locations.
