As a newly created role, you will work to deliver generalist activities across the employee lifecycle, supporting a geographically dispersed workforce across Australia. You will have the opportunity to help implement foundational HR practices and programs to support the enhancement of the function and performance.
The P&C function is on an exciting journey and with the leadership displayed by the Head of HR, you will work together to embed core processes and practices through building relationships with stakeholders across all areas of the business, including operational staff at the airports.
Further, you will:
- Be a point of escalation for all employee relations matters and provide appropriate advice and guidance to stakeholders
- Lead complex investigations and grievances, delivering outcomes in-line with Award standards

Building relationships will be your strength with the ability to become a trusted partner and foster a culture of continuous improvement and enhance performance through people.
You will be experienced in working with Awards and EBA’s, comfortable with their interpretations and application. Experience supporting the implementation of an EBA, including negotiations, is advantageous but not a must have.
