You think before acting, stay close to the factory floor and earn trust across every level. Practical, resilient and self-starting, you bring structure without forcing a corporate template onto an operational business. What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)Build a people function from the ground up, working directly with the CEO and making a visible difference across the factory. Assess current practices and prioritise quick wins, then establish reliable records, contracts, policies and processes.

Where you'll be doing itWork where specialist vehicles are engineered and built for mines, fire services and demanding industrial sites.

You need an operational background in manufacturing, production, engineering or automotive, including factory-based employees and building or rebuilding an HR function.
