A newly created, part-time opportunity exists for a HR Business Partner to join a large manufacturing business based in North-Western Sydney. This role fills a genuine gap in the team and offers real scope to support the function - you will step into a role where you can support the build of policies, processes and a legacy from the ground up.

What You'll Be Doing
Employee Relations & Investigations
  • Manage ER cases independently from day one, including investigations, letter writing, and driving matters through to outcome
  • Provide advice and interpretation on EBA/Award matters 
  • Support union engagement and consultation processes
  • Partner with leaders on performance, conduct, and workplace behaviour matters

  • Support workforce planning and contribute to a positive, engaged, and compliant workplace culture
  • Partner on EBA-related matters, including supporting future enterprise agreement renewal planning
Recruitment 
  • Support end-to-end recruitment across a number of current open roles as an interim priority
  • Post job advertisements, screen candidates, and support them post-placement across a range of blue and white-collar roles
What You'll Bring
  • Demonstrated experience as a generalist HR Business Partner or Senior HR Advisor, able to manage ER cases and investigations autonomously
  • Strong award exposure, ideally with exposure to EBA and union processes
  • Comfort and confidence building policies, procedures and ways of working from scratch, without relying on existing frameworks 
  • A mindset suited to shaping and growing a function, rather than following an established playbook
  • Strong stakeholder management skills across all levels, including union representatives
About The Role
  • Hours: Part-time, hours can be flexible for the right candidate (24-30 hours per week)
  • Flexible arrangements genuinely on offer: Flexibl start/finish times available to support varying lifestyle requirements
