HR Manager

ABOUT US

BinSmart is a growing waste management business operating across multiple sites, including Campbellfield and Hastings. As part of the wider Smart Group, we pride ourselves on operational excellence, safety, and building a strong, capable workforce that keeps our communities and industry moving.

About the role

We're looking for an experienced HR Manager to join us on an initial 6-month fixed-term contract, with strong potential to transition to a permanent full-time role. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this is a standalone, hands-on role covering the full employee lifecycle across our Campbellfield and Hastings operations. You'll be the go-to person for all things people-related, working closely with site leaders to support a diverse, blue-collar and office-based workforce.

Key responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end recruitment across both sites, including job ads, screening, interviews, and onboarding
• Draft and manage employment contracts, letters, and HR documentation
• Provide expert advice on employee relations, performance management, and workplace investigations
• Manage separations (resignations, redundancies, terminations) in line with the Fair Work Act 2009, NES, and the Waste Management Award 2020 (MA000043)
• Ensure compliance with award obligations, including final pay timing and entitlement calculations
• Partner with payroll on employment changes affecting pay
• Support workforce planning, restructures, and organisational change initiatives
• Champion a positive, safety-first workplace culture across both sites
• Maintain accurate, contemporaneous documentation and file notes for all employee relations matters
• Provide practical HR guidance and coaching to site leaders and supervisors

About you

• Proven experience as an HR Manager or senior HR Advisor, ideally in a standalone or multi-site role

• Solid working knowledge of the Fair Work Act, NES, and Modern Awards (Waste Management Award experience highly regarded)

• Experience managing the full spectrum of employee relations matters, including terminations and redundancies

• Comfortable operating autonomously and reporting directly to senior leadership

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across blue-collar and corporate teams

• Tertiary qualification in Human Resources, Business, or a related field (desirable)

• A valid driver's licence and willingness to travel between Campbellfield and Hastings sites

WHY JOIN BINSMART?

• Autonomous, high-impact standalone role

• Be part of a growing, dynamic business within the wider Smart Group

• Salary package $80,000 - $100,000 (dependent on experience)

• Genuine pathway to permanent full-time employment beyond the initial 6-month term

• Supportive leadership team and genuine opportunity to shape HR practice across the group
