Who are we?

This isn’t just another HR function - and this isn’t just another role. Our client is a well-established Australian organisation with over 100 years of history backing industry and customers. But what’s most exciting is where they’re going next.

Their People & Culture function is evolving - moving beyond traditional HR into a true business partnering model that drives performance, builds leadership capability, and shapes culture in a real, practical way. They’re customer-obsessed, aligned and accountable, and genuinely care about their people.

Who are you?

You’re not just “in HR” - you’re someone leaders trust and rely on. You might be a strong HR Advisor ready to step up, or a Business Partner looking for more ownership and impact. Either way, you’re ready for a role where you can influence, challenge, and contribute in a meaningful way.

You’re:

• Commercially aware and people-focused
• Confident having real conversations with leaders
• Proactive, practical, and solutions-driven
• Comfortable balancing competing priorities
• Curious about data and how it informs decisions.

Day to day

This is a true Business Partner role - hands-on, visible, and impactful.

You’ll work closely with leaders across Sales, Marketing, Rental, Used Equipment, IT and Finance, helping them lift capability, improve performance, and build strong, engaged teams.

You’ll:

• Coach leaders and build their capability in real time
• Partner across the full employee lifecycle in a diverse workforce
• Manage employee relations matters with confidence and clarity
• Drive engagement initiatives (recognition, surveys, D&I) that actually land
• Contribute to key projects across wellbeing, reward and culture
• Use data (Dayforce + Excel) to identify trends and influence decisions
• Continuously improve how HR shows up across the business

It’s a mix of strategy, delivery, and problem-solving - where you’ll see the impact of your work quickly.

What’s in your toolkit?

• Solid HR / P&C generalist experience (blue + white collar exposure ideal)
• Ready to step into BP or already operating at that level
• Strong employee relations capability (end-to-end experience preferred)
• Proven ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders
• Experience supporting defined business units or client groups
• Data literacy - you can interpret insights and turn them into action
• Comfortable working with HR systems (Dayforce exposure a bonus)
• A proactive, “roll your sleeves up” mindset
