Have you been in Human Resources for 8-10 years and you are looking to support a team who is passionate about construction?

Do you have a desire to build long-lasting relationships and are curious about what makes people tick? Are you a great listener and you understand the importance of attention to detail with both people and processes? Do you believe in personal growth both inside and outside of work?

So if you can handle tackling the duties of an HR assistant while also working closely with the leadership team to develop and deliver a world-class People and Culture experience then we want you .

As an integral member of our team, you will report to the Director of Finance and Administration, and will have the ear of the leadership team. The best part of this role is that it is an inaugural position so together we get to make it what’s best for all of us.

A little bit about us: Royalty General Construction Ltd began as a two man operation in 1986 and has grown to be an industry leader in our field.
