People & Safety Manager

Croft Poles & TimberWhangarei, Northland, New Zealand
5 days ago
Job description

Croft Poles & Timber is an independent, family-owned business that has been in operation for over 100 years, producing and supplying a wide range of wholesale sawn timber and roundwood products to domestic and export markets. We have a manufacturing site in northern Whangarei and a distribution site in West Auckland.

Overview

An opportunity has become available to lead and oversee the company’s Health, Safety, and Human Resources systems across both sites. This newly created role provides strategic and operational support to all site leaders, enabling them to ensure our team is safe, capable, and aligned with company values, culture and compliance obligations.

Responsibilities

Health & Safety

  • Oversee all H&S systems, policies, and compliance across both sites.
  • Support our leaders in leading their teams for hazard identification, risk assessment, and incident investigation.
  • Lead our safety and wellness committee meetings.
  • Support our team to ensure that we maintain alignment with NZ legislation (HSWA 2015) and WorkSafe best practice.

Human Resources

  • Manage recruitment, onboarding, and induction processes.
  • Improve our existing training and development pathways
  • Maintain HR records, policies, and employment compliance.
  • Champion our initiatives to improve staff engagement, culture, and retention.
  • Provide HR reporting and workforce analytics to the management team.
  • Provide accurate information to our (outsourced) payroll provider
  • Support leaders with performance management and disciplinary processes.
  • Leadership & Governance

  • Act as a trusted advisor to management and the Board on people and safety matters.
  • Promote a positive workplace culture focused on safety, well-being, and development. Champion our company values and mission.
  • Coordinate regular reporting to the Board on key HR and H&S metrics.
  • Applicants for this position would also need to have NZ Residency or a valid NZ Work Permit, hold a New Zealand Driver’s License, and pass a pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol test.

    Specifics of Role

  • This is a full-time position requiring 40 hours per week. How these hours are spread across the week is negotiable.
  • While some remote work is possible, our preference is that the individual in this critical role spends the majority of their time onsite, alongside our people.
  • The position is based at our Kauri site in Whangarei, with quarterly visits to our Auckland branch.
  • You will report to the General Manager.
  • Although the role is office-based, a willingness to spend time out observing operations is expected.
  • Our management team operates with a high level of trust and autonomy. Self-direction (with support) is essential, and with high autonomy comes high accountability.
  • This can be either a salaried or hourly role. Rate is negotiable based on experience and qualifications.
  • We are proud of our current culture, but we believe there is always room for improvement. This role will be crucial in helping us enhance our operations and bring new perspectives to the business. If you believe you are the right candidate, we would love to hear from you.

    Requirements

  • NZ Residency or valid NZ Work Permit
  • New Zealand Driver’s Licence
  • Pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol test
  • #J-18808-Ljbffr
