About the Company
Our client is a large global professional services consultancy supporting major infrastructure, environmental and advisory projects across Australia and internationally.
Operating across multiple Australian locations, leaders manage dispersed teams and rely on People & Culture partners to support performance, engagement and leadership capability. The HR function is well established, operating within a Business Partner, Shared Services and Centres of Excellence model where HR is positioned as a genuine partner to the business.
About the Role
This opportunity sits firmly in the true business partnering
space.
You will support a national portfolio of leaders, helping them strengthen team effectiveness, address emerging people challenges and improve decision-making. While you will manage ER matters when required, the role is focused on coaching, influencing and preventing issues before they escalate.
This contract will commence as an initial 6-month engagement with a planned extension to 12 months and a strong likelihood of continuation for up to 18 months.
Key responsibilities include:
- Partnering with leaders to improve performance and engagement
- Coaching managers through people and behavioural challenges
- Identifying patterns and addressing root-cause issues
- Supporting performance and planning cycles
- Managing investigations and ER matters when required
- Working with COEs and shared services to deliver outcomes

- Ability to read situations and connect themes across teams
- A proactive, relationship-driven approach
This role suits someone who enjoys the “thinking” side of HR - interpreting situations, guiding leaders and adding value beyond policy.

- Genuine partnering environment, not reactive HR
- Exposure to national leadership stakeholders
- Established HR structure supporting your work
- Flexible hybrid working model
- Stable contract with planned extension (6 → 12+ months)
