• Support and embed performance management, reward and engagement cycles across the site
• Support talent identification, succession planning and workforce planning activities
• Manage HR system transactions and ensure accurate people data (Workday experience desirable but not essential)

About You

• Experience operating at HR Advisor or HR Business Partner level, supporting operational leaders
• Demonstrated experience managing employee relations matters and investigations in complex environments
• Exposure to unionised workforces and EBA‑based environments is highly advantageous
• Confident engaging with frontline leaders, production teams and union representatives
