We are looking for a capable and confident HR Business Partner to join our team.

This is a hands-on role where no two days look the same. You'll partner with leaders across your portfolio to provide practical advice, navigate employee and industrial relations matters, support organisational change and build leadership capability.

You'll play a key role in helping leaders make informed workforce decisions, balancing operational needs with great people outcomes.

With strong Employee and Industrial Relations capability, you're comfortable working autonomously, building trusted relationships and supporting leaders through both day-to-day people matters and more complex workforce challenges.

You will bring:

• Around 5 years' progressive HR experience, including at least 2 years' operating as a Senior HR Advisor or HR Business Partner.
