  • A good understanding of manufacturing environments and safety standards
  • 7–10 years of experience in employee/industrial relations or senior HR roles
  • Experience across multiple manufacturing sites in different states

What's in it for you?
  • Full-time, secure role
  • Live and work on the beautiful Sunshine Coast
  • Discounted premium meat (yum)
  • A workplace that celebrates cultural diversity
  • Discounted health insurance
