Human Resources Manager

Join Australia’s Zero-Emission Transport Revolution

Want to future-proof your HR career in a business that’s actually changing how people move?

NSBC Group — part of the GoZero Group — is leading the transition to zero-emission transport. With a growing workforce of 340 employees and a fleet of 300+ vehicles, we’re building the future of sustainable mobility.

We’re now looking for a hands-on HR Manager (Operations) to take full ownership of the HR function and partner closely with our operational leaders.

This is a stand-alone HR leadership role (with dedicated recruitment support) where you’ll have real influence, autonomy, and the ability to shape how HR operates in a blue-collar, depot-based environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Own the entire HR function — end-to-end responsibility with full autonomy
• Highly operational role — work directly with frontline leaders and drivers
• Be part of a growing, future-focused business in the EV transition
• Strong leadership access — work closely with senior decision-makers
• Build systems, structure and culture — not just maintain them
• On-site parking at our Chullora HQ
• Professional development and career growth opportunities
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

About the Role

This is not a “sit behind a desk” HR role.

You’ll be the go-to HR leader supporting a predominantly driver workforce, dealing with the real, day-to-day challenges of a high-volume, operational business.

You’ll work closely with Operations, Safety, Payroll and Driver Training to ensure our workforce is engaged, compliant and performing.

What You’ll Do

• Act as the sole HR lead across a 340-person workforce
• Partner with depot and operational leaders on performance, conduct and attendance management
• Provide practical, timely advice on employee relations and workplace issues
• Interpret and apply Modern Awards and employment legislation
• Support and coach leaders through difficult conversations and investigations
• Oversee onboarding, induction and workforce planning
• Work alongside a dedicated recruiter to ensure strong hiring outcomes
• Align closely with Safety on WHS, compliance and incident management
• Review, build and improve HR policies, processes and systems
• Contribute to building a practical, high-accountability culture across the business

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience in a hands-on HR role (HR Manager, HRBP or senior HR Generalist)
• Experience supporting blue-collar or operational workforces (transport, logistics, manufacturing, construction or similar)
• Strong capability in performance management, employee relations and investigations
• Solid understanding of Modern Awards and Australian employment law
• A practical, no-nonsense approach to HR — you get things done
• Confidence working independently as a stand-alone HR function
• Ability to build credibility with frontline leaders and drivers
• Strong communication and influencing skills across all levels
• Tertiary qualifications in HR or related field (highly regarded)
• Australian working rights

The Reality of the Role

This role will suit someone who:

• Enjoys being close to the operation, not removed from it
• Is comfortable dealing with real workforce issues, not just policy
• Wants ownership and accountability, not a narrow remit
• Can balance people, performance and compliance in a fast-moving environment

If you’re looking for a role where you can take full ownership of HR and make a visible impact every day, we’d like to hear from you.
