HR Advisor

If you're the person in the room who knows what the Fair Work Act says before anyone else has even opened their laptop - keep reading.

Our client is a growing construction and telecoms business that finally gets it: good HR isn't a cost centre, it's the glue that holds a company together. And they're looking for an HR Advisor who gets that too.

This isn't a "keep your head down and send out termination letters" gig.

It's a seat at the table

You'll be working directly with managers and employees across the business on everything from recruitment and onboarding to performance management, employee relations and ER matters.

You'll also get to use Employment Hero (because apparently someone finally said yes to modern HR software).

What you'll actually be doing:
Giving practical HR advice to managers and employees - not just policy-waving, actual helpful advice
Managing the full recruitment cycle - ads, screening, interviews, reference checks and contracts
Leading onboarding and offboarding so people's first and last days aren't a compliance nightmare
Supporting managers through performance management - PIPs, probation reviews, the fun stuff
Handling ER matters - investigations, grievances and workplace concerns with good judgement
Keeping employee records, HR registers and contracts accurate and compliant
Supporting compliance with the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards and the NES
Working with payroll to make sure employment changes actually land correctly
Contributing to HR reporting and continuous improvement across systems and processes
What you'll bring:
Solid experience as a generalist HR Advisor 
Knowledge of the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards and contemporary HR practice
The ability to give clear, practical advice that managers actually follow
Strong written skills - you can draft a professional letter without it sounding like a robot wrote it
The kind of interpersonal skills that mean people trust you with the tricky stuff
Organisational skills that would make a project manager jealous
Comfort with HRIS platforms (Employment Hero experience is a bonus, but not essential)
A Diploma or Certificate IV in HR, Business or a related field
What's on offer:
Up to $140k + super - they pay what the role is worth
Standard office hours, Monday to Friday BUT with a nine-day fortnight!
On-site parking in Belmont - no circling the block before your first coffee
A proper handover and onboarding process from the current incumbent (who's staying in the business, just shifting focus to HSE)
Reporting to the HSEQ and HR Manager in a business that's growing fast
Construction and telecoms industry experience would be great, but they're open to strong generalists from other sectors
The real question:
You could stay where you are, keep your head down, keep putting out fires for a business that doesn't really see HR as strategic.

Or you could come and work somewhere that actually wants an HR Advisor who thinks, who acts, who makes a difference to how the business runs.

If that sounds like the move you've been quietly thinking about - we should talk.
