About your role
We have an exciting opportunity for someone early in their career to support the creation of learning and engagement experiences that encourage personal growth, skill development and strong performance across the organisation.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with a diverse range of stakeholders — from front line employees through to senior leaders — giving you exposure to how learning and engagement works across a large, global organisation. You’ll be supported by an experienced People & Culture team, with plenty of opportunity to learn, grow your skills and make a meaningful impact both at work and in the communities where we operate.

- Coordinate engagement with universities and students as part of Work Integrated Learning programs, working alongside senior engineers, product specialists and corporate teams.
- Assist with the end‑to‑end coordination of employee engagement surveys, supporting leaders and People & Culture partners to interpret results and develop action plans.
- Support internal communications and employee events in partnership with People & Culture and Corporate Affairs.
- Contribute as a member of the Wellbeing Quarter organising team, supporting initiatives that promote wellbeing across the organisation.
- Maintain and update People & Culture intranet pages and assist with the production of the monthly newsletter.

- Exposure to learning, performance or engagement activities within a People & Culture, HR or similar environment (desirable but not essential).
- A qualification in Commerce (majoring in HR), Human Resources or a related discipline is highly regarded, but not essential.
- Experience using learning or performance systems such as SuccessFactors (Learning and/or Performance modules) is advantageous.
- Confident using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook).

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships across a range of stakeholders.
- We welcome applications from recent graduates and early‑career professionals who are keen to learn, develop and grow their career in Learning, Engagement or People & Culture.
