You provide professional guidance and advice to the Ground Support division APAC Executive and Management teams on HR-related employment and industrial relations matters, as well as development and change management. You’re also responsible for a wide range of HR matters and core processes within our organization - such as diversity and inclusion, employee engagement, remuneration, benefits, succession planning and performance management.
Acting in a global environment with many exciting encounters across both cultures and borders, you’re the number one promoter of excellent collaborations. You develop networks, establish partnerships and constantly touch base with the wider organization to ensure synergies and share knowledge. By working proactively, you ensure that we have the competence and resources we need to meet our strategy and achieve business goals. All in all, you contribute to an agile, value-driven and high performing organization – simply put, a great place to work!
You report to the Regional CEO of Ground Support (DSI Underground) and play an active role in the APAC management team. The preferred job location is Heatherbrae, NSW, Australia, while other locations could be considered for the right candidate. Some travel is included, both domestically and internationally.
Your profile
When it comes to background, you have a relevant university degree, or similar qualification, combined with several years’ experience in senior or leadership positions within HR – where you’ve acquired a strength and depth of knowledge across the wider HR scope. You have excellent skills within project management and situational leadership.

Your background includes:

• Working with senior management in delivering HR outcomes aligned with strategic goals.
• Working closely and effectively with EHS and Payroll teams.

And beneficially also:

This includes the ability to effectively negotiate and influence with all levels of staff and management and manage conflicting priorities. With your strong deductive and problem-solving ability, you show the way, deliver results and encourage improvements.
