Details: Infrastructure Canberra

Not all infrastructure is built with concrete, steel and cranes.

Some of the most important foundations are built through people, culture, leadership and trust.

At Infrastructure Canberra, we're delivering the places and spaces that connect our community, but behind every successful project is an organisation built on strong relationships, sound advice and great people.

We're looking for an experienced HR professional who wants to help build that foundation.

This is an opportunity to work at the heart of the Directorate, partnering with leaders across diverse business areas to shape workforce strategy, navigate complex people matters and help create a workplace where our people can thrive.

You'll be equally comfortable laying the groundwork for strategic initiatives, navigating complex employee matters, and helping leaders construct solutions that deliver positive outcomes for both people and the business.

What you'll be doing

In this role you'll:

• Partner with leaders to provide strategic and operational HR advice.
• Lead and contribute to workforce projects, policy development and organisational initiatives.
• Support complex employee relations, injury management and workplace wellbeing matters.
• Drive contemporary HR practices that strengthen capability, culture and performance.
• Coordinate executive recruitment and help attract the talent that will help shape the future of Canberra.

What we're looking for

We're seeking someone who:

• Brings strong HR expertise and sound judgement.
• Can navigate complexity while keeping people at the centre of decisions.
• Builds credibility quickly and influences with confidence and empathy.
• Thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys solving challenging problems.
• Takes initiative, looks for opportunities to improve processes and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves when needed.

Why join us?

At Infrastructure Canberra, you'll help build more than roads, schools, health facilities and public spaces. You'll help build the culture, capability and leadership that make those outcomes possible.

If you're looking for a role where your advice matters, your work has impact and your contribution helps shape both a workforce and a city, we'd love to hear from you.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Note: This is a temporary position available immediately until 24 December 2026. This position is available to ACT Government officers and employees only.

There are opportunities for flexible working options including hybrid working, being a combination of working from home, designated office based and FlexiSpace working locations across the ACT.

This role works in an activity-based working (ABW) environment. Under ABW arrangements, officers do not have a designated workstation/desk.

Current and former ADF members are encouraged to apply.

A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months. Selection may be based on application and referee reports only.

How to Apply: Please submit a maximum two-page pitch outlining your Skills, Experience and Suitability against the Selection Criteria and a current curriculum vitae, including the contact details of two referees.

Applications should be submitted via the Apply Now button below.

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

Where an offer of employment is for a fixed-term period, any related temporary contracts within the Territory will be issued in compliance with the requirements and applicable exceptions outlined in the Fair Work Act.

The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved.
