HR Advisor

Ready to move beyond a typical in-house HR role? At Master Builders, you’ll step into a consulting-style advisory role supporting more than 10,000 members across Queensland’s building and construction industry.

Instead of owning every internal HR outcome, you’ll focus on advising, problem-solving and helping employers navigate real workplace relations challenges with confidence.

No two businesses, questions or workplace issues will be the same. From award interpretation and classifications to performance management, termination risks and consultation obligations, you’ll coach and support members through a wide range of matters that most in-house roles simply can’t offer.

What you will bring to the team

While full training and support will be provided, you’ll bring the confidence, judgement and practical experience to provide clear advice. You’ll understand how to apply employment legislation and industrial instruments to real-world workplace issues.

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Law, Human Resources, Business, Commerce or a related discipline
• Strong working knowledge of the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards and employment relations legislation
• Experience interpreting Modern Awards, enterprise agreements and employment contracts in an advisory setting
• Experience advising or coaching on performance management, disciplinary processes, terminations and other sensitive matters
• Sound numerical skills and confidence working through pay, entitlement and classification questions
• Ideally, exposure to Fair Work Commission processes, including employer responses and conciliation
• Construction industry experience is highly regarded but not essential
