It doesn't just stop there; we ensure that sustainability lies at the heart of everything that we do to help protect our water resources for future generations. This means that we are continuously focused on how we can reduce our carbon footprint with initiatives like solar panels, electric cars, revegetation programmes, and much more. We really are a company that wants to make a positive difference.

  • Providing employment relations expertise, including involvement in collective negotiations.
  • Delivering succession planning objectives.
  • Coaching and developing leaders.
  • Developing and leading on people solutions/projects that meet the changing needs of the business.

  • Highly developed interpersonal skills and ability to work with and negotiate with a broad range of people.
  • Strategic and critical thinking ability.
