Talent Acquisition Specialist

Major Water Utility · Fortitude Valley

Contract · Brisbane QLD

$50.00/hr + super | 38 hrs/wk, Mon-Fri | Contract role

Join one of South East Queensland's largest water distribution utilities — a critical piece of public infrastructure serving 1.5 million residents and more than 31,000 commercial customers across a broad regional footprint stretching from the Queensland/NSW border to Kilcoy and Moreton.

With a $6 billion asset base and a strong focus on community liveability, this organisation invests seriously in its people. You'll be joining an embedded People Experience team that operates as a true partner to the business — not a transactional service.

The role

Partnering with Operations and Maintenance leaders, you'll own end-to-end recruitment for a high-volume blue collar portfolio — briefing, sourcing, screening, and placing trade and technical talent at pace. This is a busy, relationship-driven desk with real visibility across the business.

Key duties

• Managing end-to-end recruitment for an Operations and Maintenance portfolio with a blue collar and high-volume focus
• Building trusted partnerships with hiring leaders to understand workforce needs and turn around quality shortlists
• Sourcing, screening, and assessing candidates against role requirements and team fit
• Delivering a positive candidate and stakeholder experience at every touchpoint
• Contributing to talent management and internal mobility initiatives across the business

Key selection criteria

• Proven experience in high-volume or blue collar recruitment — utilities, infrastructure, construction, or similar environments ideal
• Confidence managing a busy desk independently and building strong relationships with leaders
• A collaborative, solutions-focused approach with strong communication skills
• Comfortable working with recruitment technology and ATS platforms
• Relevant degree in HR, Psychology, or a related field — or equivalent industry experience
