HR Business Partner

Locations: Melbourne CBD & North West Region, 3 days office, 2 days home hybrid.

Salary: up to $132,230 p.a. + super (commensurate with experience)

This is not a role for someone seeking comfort and predictability. It’s for someone who thrives in complexity and sees challenges as opportunities for real impact.

We’re currently recruiting multiple HR Business Partner positions to join a high-performing People & Culture team within a large, complex organisation. These roles are best suited to professionals who bring grit, perseverance, and a long-term mindset—those who can earn trust, think strategically, and navigate ambiguity with confidence.

Working closely with senior leaders across either the Melbourne CBD or North West region, you will play a pivotal role in delivering people initiatives, managing complex employee relations matters, and shaping organisational culture in a highly unionised environment.




Key responsibilities:

  • Act as a trusted partner to executive and senior leaders, influencing people strategies and organisational effectiveness.
  • Manage complex employee relations and grievance matters with a focus on resolution and risk mitigation.
  • Lead and support cultural and organisational change initiatives to embed performance and accountability.
  • Deliver integrated HR solutions that are aligned with both strategic goals and industrial obligations.

What we’re looking for:

  • Proven senior HR generalist experience within a highly unionised, industrialised environment.
  • Demonstrated success in managing complex ER/IR matters and achieving favourable outcomes.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement, influencing, and coaching capabilities.
  • Experience leading or supporting change and transformation initiatives.

Additional requirements:

  • Proof of qualifications listed on your CV (if requested).
  • Triple vaccination in line with current workplace health and safety policies.

Available roles:

  • 2 x Permanent positions – one based in Melbourne CBD, one in the North West region.
  • 1 x 12-month fixed-term contract – based in the North West region.

If you’re looking for a role that challenges you to think differently, influence meaningfully, and deliver real organisational impact, we’d love to hear from you.
