HR Manager

ULTRA Building Co has a reputation for delivering standout projects across luxury residential, mixed-use and diversified construction sectors.  What makes ULTRA different is our people. We've built a business around strong relationships, high standards, and a shared commitment to getting the job done right.  As we continue to grow, we're investing in our people and culture just as much as the projects we deliver.

We're looking for an experienced HR Manager to help shape the people, culture and capability that drive our success.

The Role:

Reporting to the CEO and Operations Manager, you'll lead the HR function across the business and partner with leaders to support our people, culture and growth.

You'll balance strategic initiatives with hands-on HR support, helping create an environment where people can perform at their best and build rewarding careers. 

This is a role for someone who enjoys being part of the conversation, not sitting on the sidelines.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide trusted HR and employee relations advice to leaders and employees across the business.

• Oversee the recruitment process and work with the Construction Managers to meet workforce resourcing requirements.

• Manage the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, induction, probation, performance reviews and offboarding.

• Prepare employment contracts, contract variations, formal letters and other HR documentation.

• Lead performance management, employee development and remuneration review processes.

• Identify training and development needs and coordinate initiatives that build capability across the business.

• Partner with leaders on workforce planning, succession planning and employee retention initiatives.

• Develop and implement employee engagement activities that strengthen culture and retention.

• Manage HR policies, compliance and employment matters, ensuring alignment with legislative requirements.

• Lead HR projects and implement improvements to HR systems, processes and people practices.

About You:

You'll be an experienced HR professional who combines sound judgement with a genuine passion for people. You'll bring:

• Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources or a related discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience (construction industry experience highly regarded).

• Minimum five years' experience in a generalist HR role, ideally within construction or a similar fast-paced environment.

• Strong knowledge of Australian employment legislation and HR best practice.

• Proven experience managing HR operations across the employee lifecycle.

• Experience managing employee relations, performance management and disciplinary matters.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships and influence stakeholders at all levels.

• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and maintain attention to detail.

• A practical, collaborative and solutions-focused approach.
