HR & IR Officer (Mining Operation)

This retail chain region in Prospecton needs an HR person who knows labour law and the shop floor. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a retail chain region in Prospecton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
