The Role
McCullough Robertson's national Employment Relations and Safety practice is experiencing a dynamic period of growth, and as a result, we are looking to expand our talented team.

Additionally, you will possess the following key attributes:
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal;
A focus on delivering outcomes for your clients;
Confidence in building strong relationships with clients and team members;
