Key responsibilities include leading employee relations (ER) processes and supporting the development and rollout of demobilisation activities across the project. You'll be a trusted advisor, helping leaders navigate complex HR matters, interpret and apply enterprise agreements, and foster a high-performance culture.

We're looking for a driven individual with exceptional communication skills who can become a trusted partner to our people and the project. This is a fantastic opportunity for a strong People Advisor ready to take the next step in their career and make a meaningful impact on a dynamic project. We would also be open to considering a 4 day work week for a more experienced professional.

Responsibilities of the role include:
  • Provide expert support and advice to leaders and employees on all workplace relations matters
  • Recommend and support the implementation of HR strategies in collaboration with the People Manager
  • Lead and develop the HR Coordinator, building team capability and effectiveness
  • Oversee the full range of people management activities including recruitment, remuneration, employee relations, and offboarding / demobilisation
  • Recommend strategies to enhance employee performance and contribute to successful project outcomes
  • Provide accurate data, insights, and reporting on HR activities to support continuous improvement
To be successful in this key role, you must have:
  • A degree in Business, Human Resource Management, Law, Finance or other associated disciplines and / or 3-5 years' experience in a human resources advisory role
  • Strong knowledge of national and state regulatory frameworks
  • Demonstrated experience in managing employee relations and performance matters
  • Experience managing a direct report (desired)
What's in it for you when you join the John Holland Gamuda Joint Venture:
