For this role, UMW is seeking a highly experienced HR practitioner (who holds a minimum of a BA in a related discipline). You'll have good leadership skills and will have the enthusiasm and knowledge needed to drive change in UMW's human capital function rather than "maintaining the status quo". It is critical that you have a demonstrated history of producing results and supporting all areas of an organisation, over at least ten years.
Preference will be given to candidates who have experience overseas, particularly in developing countries, and also from the Mining/resources industry as will experience with the HAY Job Evaluation and PRONTO payroll/ERP system.
You should have an outstanding generalist knowledge and experience of human resource management at both a strategic and operational level, including IR, comp and bens, recruitment and training. You'll be a flexible individual who is able to work well in high pressure situations and undertake crisis management in a calm and effective manner.
Importantly, the successful candidate will be a highly motivated team player, with strong leadership, interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to work autonomously.
If you are a professional, goal-orientated and dedicated individual, who is keen to both apply and share their knowledge and experience in a hands-on role and is looking for a long term commitment where you can really lead change, then UMW Niugini Limited would like to hear from you!
The organisation requires someone who is willing to take on a residential role, where you will be living and working in PNG, and who is confident in overseeing and working with both qualified professionals and a semi-skilled PNG workforce. In return, UMW will provide you with 'western standard' furnished accommodation, negotiable upon your circumstances.
Working within a highly dynamic, fast paced, continually changing environment, you will bring a continuous improvement and adaptable orientation and attitude to the role. You will also be able to hit the ground running, as UMW is experiencing extremely fast growth.
An attractive salary package circa A$175,000 will be negotiable based on experience, PLUS a vehicle, accommodation, bi-annual travel allowance, Medical Cover, annual performance bonus and exclusive club membership.
A comprehensive training culture exists within this large-scale organisation, with UMW Niugini Limited committed to promoting hard working and talented individuals within the company's international operations.
This is your chance to work within the infrastructure of an industry leader, and take an active role in transferring your HR knowledge and experience to the next generation of PNG National HR practitioners. Take your next career step with UMW Niugini Limited.
