Newly Created position| Multi-Site Role | Company Vehicle Provided

Partner with operations. Influence safety. Make a visible impact.

A large, established logistics business is entering an exciting phase of growth as it expands its third-party logistics capabilities and supports a growing mix of internal and external customers.
As part of this growth, the business is creating three Health, Safety and Wellbeing Business Partner positions to provide dedicated, practical safety support across its logistics network.

This is not a desk-based or purely compliance-focused role. You will spend most of your time travelling between operational sites, working alongside leaders, drivers, forklift operators, warehouse teams and contractors to improve safety performance and embed practical, sustainable ways of working.
A company vehicle will be provided.

The role

Reporting to the National HSW Manager, you will partner closely with operational leaders across warehousing, transport and heavy-vehicle environments.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Travelling regularly across multiple operational sites
• Building trusted relationships with frontline teams and operational leaders
• Providing practical, hands-on HSW advice
• Conducting site inspections, risk assessments and safety reviews
• Coaching leaders to improve safety ownership and performance
• Supporting incident investigations and corrective actions
• Improving toolbox meetings and frontline safety communication
• Supporting heavy-vehicle compliance and Chain of Responsibility obligations
• Managing risks relating to driver fatigue, loading and unloading, forklifts, traffic movement and heavy machinery
• Supporting contractor management and on-road compliance
• Identifying opportunities for continuous improvement
• Helping sites build a proactive safety culture

You will have the confidence to challenge unsafe practices, escalate serious concerns and stop work where required. Just as importantly, you will know how to influence change through trust, credibility and strong operational relationships.

What we are looking for

You will bring practical safety experience from a transport, logistics, warehousing, supply-chain or similarly operational environment.
Experience in the following areas will be highly regarded:

• Heavy-vehicle legislation and compliance
• Chain of Responsibility
• Driver fatigue management
• Warehouse and forklift operations
• Manual loading and unloading
• Traffic management
• Contractor management
• Incident investigation
• High-risk plant and machinery
• Operational risk management

You will be someone who:

• Builds relationships quickly
• Communicates confidently with frontline employees and senior leaders
• Is approachable, practical and solutions-focused
• Enjoys being visible and working alongside operations
• Can influence without adopting a “safety police” approach
• Works autonomously with minimal supervision
• Is comfortable operating in an evolving environment
• Can manage competing priorities across multiple sites
• Is motivated by improving safety culture and operational performance

A relevant health and safety qualification, valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel regularly are required.

Why join?

This is a great opportunity to join a growing logistics business in a newly created role where you’ll have genuine autonomy, strong operational exposure and the chance to shape how safety is embedded across the network. You’ll work closely with experienced leaders, influence safety culture across multiple sites and be part of a business investing in its systems, technology and future growth – with a company vehicle provided.
This opportunity will suit an operationally minded safety professional who enjoys being in the field, building strong relationships and delivering practical improvements.

Our client is a leading financial services organisation with a strong reputation with a serious commitment to using data and AI safely, commercially and at scale.

This is not a theoretical AI role. It is a hands-on opportunity to work directly with portfolio managers, analysts and key business owners to identify high-value problems, build practical AI and data solutions, and embed them into the way key decisions are researched, monitored and made.

Our client is looking for someone who can spot opportunity, cut through noise, build fast, and apply sound judgement on when AI is the right answer, and when it is not.

You will sit close to the Investment team day to day, while staying connected to the wider Data, Insights & AI function. That means you get the best of both worlds: direct exposure to a high-performing business domain, and the backing of enterprise data, governance and technology foundations already in place.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Working directly with portfolio managers, analysts and the wider business to identify high-value AI and data opportunities
• Designing, prototyping and building AI tools, agents, automations and analytical solutions
• Embedding solutions into real investment workflows so they are adopted, not just demonstrated
• Creating reusable prompts, agents, tools and patterns that can scale across teams
• Coaching non-technical users to use sanctioned AI tools confidently and safely
• Working with enterprise technology, data, architecture, security and governance teams to make solutions secure, reliable and production-ready
• Applying honest judgement on whether the right solution is AI, better data, process improvement, or no build at all

Required Skills

• Strong hands-on Python experience, with practical experience integrating APIs, data and modern AI or LLM tooling into working solutions
• Experience designing and delivering technology, data or AI solutions that solve real business problems and are adopted by end users
• Good understanding of modern AI tooling, including LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, agents or AI-assisted workflows
• Comfortable working with structured and unstructured data in a governed cloud data environment, ideally Databricks, Azure or similar
• Sound engineering discipline across version control, testing, documentation, reliability and safe production practices
• Proven ability to take ambiguous ideas from discovery through to deployed, usable solutions
• Strong stakeholder skills, especially with non-technical users in complex or high-trust environments
• The judgement to know when AI is not the answer, and the discipline to build for reuse, reliability and safe use
• Strong exposure to the financial services sector, or heavily regulated environments.

Why This Role?
This is frontier work with real commercial impact.

You will not be buried in a central function building tools at arm’s length. You will be close to the people using what you build, with the autonomy to shape solutions and the credibility of an enterprise function behind you.

This role will suit someone who likes to ship, enjoys complex domains, and can earn trust with smart, demanding stakeholders. You will need to be commercially pragmatic, technically credible, and comfortable challenging assumptions when the answer is not obvious.

• 6-month contract | Auckland Central
• Complex transformation programme
• Workforce planning | Organisational design | Future role architecture

Are you a strategic workforce planning or organisational design specialist who can turn workforce data into a clear, practical future workforce plan?
We are seeking an experienced Strategic Workforce Planning Consultant to support a significant transformation programme within a complex higher education environment.
This is not a traditional Workforce Analyst role. There is already workforce analytics capability in place. The focus of this contract is to take existing workforce data, current-state role information and business inputs, then translate that into a practical view of what the future workforce should look like.
You will help shape workforce planning for the first phase of the programme, including future role architecture, capability requirements, workforce mapping and transition pathway options for priority groups.

About the role

Working closely with HR Shared Services, HR/OD stakeholders, project teams and business analysis capability, you will help develop workforce planning outputs that support decision-making across a broader transformation programme.
This role will suit someone who is comfortable working with ambiguity, can make sense of partial or imperfect data, and is confident turning complex workforce information into clear recommendations.

Key focus areas

• Identify current roles that may be impacted by the future-state model
• Map current roles against future workforce requirements
• Define future role architecture, including roles that may remain, evolve, emerge or phase out
• Develop capability and competency frameworks for future roles
• Build workforce transition pathways and initial options for priority groups
• Provide input into position description reviews and role mapping
• Develop a high-level strategic workforce plan and workforce map
• Support recruitment checkpoint processes and transition decision-making
• Engage with senior leaders, HR/OD teams and project stakeholders

Key deliverables

• Strategic workforce plan
• Workforce map
• Future role architecture
• Initial transition options and pathways
• Input into recruitment checkpoints and transition decision frameworks

Experience with workforce data, TechnologyOne HR/P, Power BI or Excel would be useful, but this is not a reporting-focused role. The real value is your ability to interpret workforce information and turn it into a clear, practical plan for the future.

What will make you successful

You will be a structured thinker, strong communicator and confident facilitator who can work across HR, OD, project and senior stakeholder groups.
You will be comfortable asking good questions, challenging assumptions and bringing clarity to complex workforce planning conversations.
