• Supporting workforce planning, talent development, and organisational design where required
• Contributing to continuous improvement of HR processes, policies, and practices
• Working cross-functionally with multiple stakeholders, both on-site and corporate, to deliver consistent HR outcomes

About You
To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Previous experience in a generalist HR role, ideally within manufacturing, FMCG, logistics, or a similarly operational environment
• Strong exposure to complex ER matters, with the ability to manage cases end-to-end
• Confidence working autonomously while staying closely aligned to broader HR strategy
• A practical, people-focused approach with the ability to influence a range of stakeholders
• Strong communication skills and the maturity to navigate challenging conversations
• A genuine willingness to learn and contribute in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
