Job Details

Shape culture. Empower leaders. Make a real difference.

Ready to take the lead in a role where you’re not just supporting culture — you’re shaping it?  Based in a welcoming regional community offering a relaxed lifestyle, stunning natural surroundings, and a strong local spirit, this is the perfect opportunity for someone looking to step into a leadership role with impact — and enjoy a tree-change or lifestyle move while you’re at it. Relocation support is on the table for the right person.
  
Our client is now seeking a trusted and passionate People & Culture Lead to join a dynamic site leadership team to drive engagement, performance, and positive workplace change where it truly counts. This opportunity offers a role with influence and variety from workforce planning and employee relations to training, return to work and culture initiatives. You will own the full P&C remit and see the direct impact of your work every day.
  
Enjoy a regional lifestyle with relocation assistance on offer.
  
Key Responsibilities:
Reporting to the Head of People & Culture and working closely with the Plant Manager and site leadership team, you’ll be the go-to P&C partner on site. You’ll balance strategy with day-to-day operational support, helping leaders build high-performing teams while fostering a positive, inclusive and compliant workplace culture.

• Partnering with leaders to drive people performance and positive culture change
• Workforce planning, recruitment and succession planning
• Performance management, employee relations and investigations
• Leading return-to-work programs and injury management coordination
• Delivering training, inductions and P&C policy education
• Supporting development plans and capability building across teams
• Managing HR systems, employee records and site absenteeism trends
• Ensuring compliance with Fair Work, Awards/EBAs and employment legislation
• Building strong relationships with external stakeholders including labour hire providers, medical professionals and community groups
• This is a role where you’ll coach, influence, problem-solve and improve — every single day.

About You
You’re a confident HR professional who thrives in an operational environment and enjoys being close to the workforce. You build trust easily, communicate with impact, and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves.  You’ll bring:

• Experience in a broad HR / People & Culture role
• Strong knowledge of employee relations and performance management
• The ability to build strong working relationships across all levels
• Sound understanding of employment legislation, awards and workplace practices
• Excellent organisation skills with strong attention to detail
• Confidence delivering training and supporting leaders through people matters
• A proactive mindset with the judgement to know when to guide, coach or step in
• Formal HR qualifications (Cert IV or Diploma) are desirable, but practical experience and the right attitude count just as much.

Why Make the Move?
This is more than just a job — it’s a lifestyle opportunity. Think shorter commutes, fresh air, a strong sense of community, and easy access to some of Australia’s most beautiful natural landscapes. Whether you love the outdoors, a slower pace, or simply more balance in your life, this location delivers.  Combine that with a supportive leadership team, the chance to influence culture at a site level, and real variety in your work — and you’ve got a role that’s both professionally rewarding and personally fulfilling.
