I’m working with a long standing and steadily growing manufacturing business on their hunt for a new HR Advisor. This organisation supply essential products used widely across New Zealand and overseas, but what really stands out is their grounded, people focused culture. It is the kind of place where relationships matter, everyone knows each other, and the leadership team genuinely wants HR to play a bigger part in shaping the future of the organisation. This role will suit an experienced HR Advisor who wants more variety, more ownership and the chance to influence how things are done. If you like being involved across the full people spectrum and enjoy having both strategic input and day to day responsibility, this is a great fit. The company has clear growth plans and this position plays a meaningful role in supporting that. You will work closely with the GM, be the first point of contact for all HR matters, and have the freedom to make improvements where you see opportunities. This is a genuinely varied generalist role and would be ideal for someone who enjoys being across everything and building strong relationships with people at all levels. The role is based onsite in Richmond, working with a close knit team who value honesty, care and getting things done well. They are looking for someone who is proactive, humble and people smart, with a positive approach and a steady presence day to day.
