🌟 What’s the Brief?

We’re partnering with one of Australia’s largest agricultural investors to find two HR Business Partners for their recently acquired apples, cherries, and citrus farm. The organisation has experienced consistent growth, driven by the acquisition of agricultural portfolios across Australia offering exciting exposure to M&A and corporate projects.

With the HR function undergoing a period of transformation, this is a unique opportunity to play a hands-on role in elevating and refining the function.

❣️Is This Your Perfect Match?

Reporting to the P&C Manager, you’ll play an active role in contributing to the group’s strategic vision. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in an operational capacity but is excited by opportunities to get involved in strategic project work.

Here, things move fast, so you’ll need to be someone who thrives in an agile environment. There are two roles available - one supporting the orchard farms and the other supporting facilities. You’re someone who loves building genuine relationships and being visible. You don’t mind putting your boots on and getting out on-site to connect with the teams.
