* Introduce structure and rigour into performance management, talent management and succession planning
* Reduce employee attrition and improve engagement and accountability
* Influence and challenge senior leaders in a complex environment
Who We’re Looking For
We are seeking a commercially minded HR leader who:
* Has experience in turnaround, transformation, or underperforming operations
* Is comfortable in blue-collar, industrial, or safety-critical environments
* Can navigate complex stakeholder dynamics with confidence and credibility
* Brings high emotional intelligence, resilience, and courage
* Understands how people strategy impacts profit, performance, and risk
Why Join?
* Shape the future of a strategically critical, high-growth division
* Board-level exposure within a Group investing heavily in people
* Opportunity to work in an evolving leadership team and lead lasting change
* Make a measurable and visible impact on culture and performance, as well as the commercial success of the business
