Success in these roles requires a deep understanding of industrial instruments, enterprise bargaining frameworks, and the ability to navigate ambiguous, high-stakes situations while maintaining fair and sustainable outcomes for all parties. These are not roles for those seeking routine or predictability - they're for professionals who thrive under pressure, persevere through complexity, and can build trust in heavily unionised, ever-evolving ER landscapes.
