About the Role
As HR Manager, you’ll lead the Australian HR function, supporting a diverse and expanding portfolio spanning renewables, digital infrastructure, logistics, and real estate.
Reporting to the Head of HR in Singapore, you’ll manage the full employee lifecycle locally while ensuring alignment with global frameworks.

Experience in renewables, infrastructure, logistics, or asset management will be valued, but above all, you’re pragmatic, adaptable, and motivated by purpose. Skilled at partnering with senior leaders, you build trust quickly and influence effectively at all levels.
Culture and Benefits
You’ll join a values-driven organisation where collaboration, innovation, and impact are central. Entrepreneurial and forward-looking, the team is focused on building cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive infrastructure.
