About You & The Role

We're looking for a Human Resources Business Partner – it's about people, relationships and making things happen.

You'll be responsible for your own dedicated portfolio, allowing you to build relationships with all of your key stakeholders. You'll be partnering with leaders across our business to manage key people matters, navigate an ever-changing work environment and support our growth initiatives. You will also partner closely with other support functions and external stakeholders such as union organisers.

No two days will look the same. One minute you could be working through an investigation and the next you could be supporting a leader through consultation and change.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Partner with leaders across your portfolio to deliver people initiatives that support business growth and success.
• Act as a trusted and strategic advisor to leaders; you will provide practical guidance across all things HR with a focus on employee relations.
• Work alongside managers on all aspects of employee relations including conduct investigations, performance management and disputes.
• Support and drive organisational change initiatives and bring HR programs and projects to life.
• Partner with our Recruitment team to attract, select and onboard great people who are the right fit for our business.
• Use HR data, metrics and trends to identify opportunities and make recommendations that genuinely improve the employee experience.
• Deliver training and coaching on a range of HR topics to build capability across our leadership teams.
• Most importantly, roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. We're looking for someone who is just as comfortable developing a strategy as they are jumping into the detail and helping get the job done.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who brings experience, energy and a genuine passion for people.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven experience as a HR Business Partner or similar, preferably within a blue-collar and/or unionised environment.
• Strong knowledge across HR and ER, with an understanding of best practice and how to apply it in a complex operational environment.
• The ability to thrive in a complex, fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly.
• The ability to build genuine relationships and influence people at all levels of the organisation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to tackle challenging and sensitive people matters.
• A demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders, drive change and bring people along for the journey.
• Degree or other HR qualification preferred.
• Some inter-state travel may be required however we support flexibility and your work/life balance.
• Aviation experience? Even better! But if you're from another fast-paced, operational industry, we'd still love to hear from you.

The Bottom Line

We're looking for someone who doesn't just sit on the sidelines.

If you're a practical, people-focused HR professional that is interested in the buzz of the airport environment – we want to hear from you.

Your next career move is cleared for take-off.
