This role offers the best of both worlds — site engagement and corporate collaboration — with a Monday to Friday roster, alternating between time on-site and at our Brisbane or Mackay office.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary HR contact on-site, providing hands-on, day-to-day support to managers and employees

• Provide practical, solutions-focused support on conflict resolution, disciplinary processes, and disputes
• Collaborate with the broader Queensland HR and IR teams to ensure cohesive service delivery
• Champion people and culture strategies, including diversity, inclusion, and community initiatives
• Partner closely with the HR Manager and contribute to continuous improvement across all HR practices
• Promote and model Thiess' core values in all aspects of your role
  
  

About You

To be successful, you will bring:

• A tertiary qualification in Human Resources, Business, or a related field
• Experience in a senior HR advisory or business partnering role, ideally within the mining, construction or heavy industry sectors
• Proven ability to work autonomously while building strong on-site and remote relationships
• Confidence in managing sensitive employee matters with professionalism and discretion
• Strong capability in Microsoft Office and HRIS systems
• High-level organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively
  
  

What Thiess Can Offer You

• Flexible Monday to Friday roster: one week on-site, one week in Brisbane or Mackay office
• Competitive remuneration including site allowance and discretionary annual bonus
• Camp accommodation or local living allowance while on site
• Ongoing career development, training, and leadership pathways
• Access to health and wellbeing initiatives through AIA Vitality
• Salary continuance insurance and novated leasing options
