Services · OrgForge
Reshape the org with confidence.
OrgForge generates polished, audit-ready position descriptions at scale — turning weeks of bulk PD work into minutes, without sacrificing tone, compliance, or your council's house style.
What is OrgForge
Built for councils mid-restructure.
OrgForge is a position description automation platform built specifically for Australian local government. It takes one structured spreadsheet of role data and produces fully formatted, classification-aware, compliance-ready position descriptions — every PD in your council's voice, every PD audit-ready.
Built by Budduns to solve a real problem we saw across multiple councils: HR teams spending hundreds of hours manually formatting PDs during restructures, with inconsistent tone, missed compliance clauses, and no single source of truth. OrgForge fixes that.
Confirmed in deployment
~80%
reduction in PD drafting time
From hours per role to minutes — confirmed across real local government deployments. Dozens of PDs generated in a single import, every one to your council's standard.
The journey
How OrgForge works.
Three steps from raw role data to polished, council-standard PDs.
Prepare the data
Your role data goes into the OrgForge PD Bulk Spreadsheet. Every column maps directly to a section of the final PD — header info, role purpose, responsibilities, decision-making authority, skills, qualifications, selection criteria. We provide the template, with the mapping done.
Migrate into OrgForge
Upload the completed spreadsheet. OrgForge validates every mandatory field, maps each column to its corresponding PD section, flags missing or inconsistent data, and prompts you to confirm before processing. No silent failures, no half-formed PDs.
Generate the PDs
OrgForge produces a fully formatted Word document for each role, written in your council's voice, with compliance clauses embedded, classification-appropriate language applied, and 5–8 Key Selection Criteria synthesised across all sections. Export individually or as a bulk download.
Capabilities
The intelligence behind every PD.
Six capabilities that turn a spreadsheet into a polished, defensible document.
Classification-aware writing
OrgForge reads each role's classification level and switches writing register, decision-making depth, and leadership framing automatically — Officer-level roles read differently to Coordinator and Manager roles, without anyone having to think about it.
Standard clauses, every time
Mandatory OHS, child-safe, values, and compliance statements are embedded into every PD by default. Nothing missed, nothing forgotten, no manual re-typing for the hundredth time.
Tone standardisation
Applies your council's formal voice consistently — values referenced, third person, present tense, no ambiguity. Every PD reads like it came from one author, because in a sense it did.
Anti-redundancy check
Role Purpose, Key Responsibilities, and Selection Criteria are written to complement each other, not repeat each other. No PD ever reads like it's saying the same thing three different ways.
KSC synthesis
Auto-generates 5–8 Key Selection Criteria drawn across all sections of the PD — internally consistent, objective, recruitment-ready, and defensible at audit.
Export-ready output
Outputs a fully formatted .docx ready for HR review, approval, and recruitment use. Or export the entire library as a single bulk download for an organisation-wide restructure.
Banding-aware
Built for your classification structure.
OrgForge works to the banding model your council actually uses.
OrgForge is configured to your local government structure — Victorian bands, NSW grades, Queensland streams — and applies the appropriate writing register, decision-making framing, and leadership scope for each level. Three broad tiers shape how each PD is generated:
Officer
- Focus
- Operational service delivery or support.
- Decision-making
- Works within defined guidelines; escalates unusual matters.
- Leadership
- Self-management, teamwork, following direction.
Coordinator / Team Leader
- Focus
- Team coordination, mid-level management, or specialist advisory.
- Decision-making
- Independent judgement in planning; escalates high-risk issues.
- Leadership
- Leads a team or function; coaching; policy compliance.
Manager / Senior Officer
- Focus
- Strategic management of a department or major function.
- Decision-making
- Complex decisions with long-term significance; broad discretion.
- Leadership
- Leads people leaders; shapes strategy; represents council.
The classification level you set in the spreadsheet drives which standard clauses, tone, and scope are applied automatically.
Anatomy of a PD
What every PD includes.
Nothing missing. Nothing duplicated. Audit-ready by default.

Audience
Who OrgForge is built for.
HR teams mid-restructure
Councils undergoing reorganisation typically need to refresh hundreds of PDs in weeks. OrgForge turns that into days.
Workforce planning leads
When new functions or directorates are created, OrgForge generates the full PD set from one structured input — without months of drafting cycles.
HR audit & compliance officers
Every PD is consistent, classification-aligned, and defensible — making organisation-wide audits straightforward rather than dread-inducing.
Recruitment teams under pressure
Vacancies waiting on a refreshed PD lose momentum. OrgForge clears the backlog so roles can hit the market without delay.
