We're looking for an experienced People & Culture Business Partner to join our People & Culture team based in Auckland.

In this role, you'll partner closely with business leaders to provide both strategic and operational people support that enables business success. You'll work across a broad range of people initiatives including workforce planning, organisational design, employee relations, change management, leadership coaching, talent development, succession planning, and employee engagement.

As a trusted advisor, you'll build strong relationships with leaders, help navigate complex people challenges, and support the delivery of people strategies that drive performance, growth, and great employee experiences. You'll collaborate with specialists across our wider People & Culture team to deliver practical, people-focused solutions and contribute to key organisational projects and transformation initiatives.

At Beca, our People & Culture team is passionate about making everyday better for our people. We work in partnership across New Zealand and Australia, supporting our leaders and employees through both day-to-day opportunities and pivotal moments. We're a collaborative, supportive team that values continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and having a bit of fun along the way.

You'll bring:

• Sound knowledge of New Zealand employment legislation and HR best practice.
• Experience managing complex employee relations matters, organisational change, and leadership coaching.
• The ability to balance commercial outcomes with people-focused solutions.
• Strong relationship-building and influencing skills, with confidence engaging stakeholders at all levels.
