Hands-on People & Culture role supporting leaders across a complex, multi-site operational business with strong ER, performance and coaching focus.
About the Company
Our client is a large, Australian-based organisation operating across multiple sites with a diverse workforce spanning both blue-collar and corporate environments. The business is operational at its core, with hands-on leaders who value consistency, fairness and doing things properly.
There is a strong focus on long-term relationships, loyalty and follow-through, with many employees building lasting careers within the organisation. The People & Culture function plays a key role in supporting this through practical advice, strong governance and a visible, embedded approach to partnering with leaders across the business.
About the Role
This is a true People & Culture Business Partner role based in Brisbane, supporting senior leaders, managers and frontline supervisors across a multi-site operational environment. You’ll work closely with leaders day to day, providing practical, fit-for-purpose advice across the full employee lifecycle while helping to build confidence and capability in people leadership.
Employee relations and performance management are central to the role. You’ll coach leaders through complex and sensitive matters, support investigations and outcomes where required, and ensure due process is followed in a fair, consistent and commercially sound way. Just as important is your ability to step in early, guiding leaders through conversations, setting expectations and preventing issues from escalating.
The role includes occasional, planned travel to regional sites to support leaders on the ground, build strong relationships and gain a genuine understanding of site-based operations. This is an important part of being embedded in the business rather than supporting from a distance.
You’ll also contribute to broader people initiatives including engagement, succession planning, workforce structure, onboarding, remuneration processes, performance development and change management, working closely with recruitment, learning and development, safety and compliance teams.
About You
You’re an experienced HR or People & Culture professional with a strong foundation in employee relations, performance management and generalist HR. You’re comfortable operating in fast-paced, operational environments and working with leaders at different levels, including those who have stepped into leadership from frontline roles.
You bring sound judgement, emotional intelligence and a coaching mindset, influencing through credibility and relationships rather than authority. You understand the importance of policy and compliance, while also recognising that strong outcomes rely on how advice is delivered. You’re organised, commercially aware and able to manage competing priorities with a calm, solutions-focused approach.
Experience in multi-site, blue-collar or mixed workforce environments will be highly regarded, as will your willingness to spend time on site when needed. Most importantly, you care about doing the work properly and supporting leaders to do the same.
Why Move?
This is an opportunity to join a stable, values-driven organisation where People & Culture is embedded in the business and genuinely respected. You’ll work with leaders who are committed to improving how they lead and be part of a collaborative, supportive team.
The business offers a flexible working environment built on trust. Following an initial onboarding period, there is the option to work from home one day per week, balanced with time in the office and on site.
You’ll be offered a competitive salary aligned to experience, a Brisbane base with practical onsite benefits, and genuine scope to grow as the function continues to evolve.
