This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership position for an HR professional who enjoys working directly with employees, supervisors and senior leaders. You will help maintain a fair, consistent and compliant workplace while strengthening recruitment, employee engagement, leadership capability and operational performance.

You will also manage and develop a team of HR Generalists and Administrators while helping shape the policies, processes and systems that support the wider organization.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers the opportunity to:

• Lead HR operations within a complex, fast-paced manufacturing environment

• Manage and develop an established team of HR professionals

• Serve as a trusted adviser to operational leaders and employees

• Take ownership of employee relations, investigations and workplace compliance

• Influence recruitment, onboarding, training and retention strategies

• Improve HR policies, systems and operational processes

• Work closely with internal legal counsel on sensitive employment matters

• Build a visible and trusted HR presence across the facility

What You’ll Be Doing

Employee Relations and Leadership Support

• Serve as a trusted HR resource to employees, supervisors and senior leaders

• Provide guidance on performance management, workplace conduct and employee concerns

• Lead employee-relations investigations and recommend appropriate corrective actions

• Counsel employees and managers on workplace conflict and performance issues

• Support disciplinary processes, including recommendations involving termination

• Promote fairness, consistency, confidentiality and professionalism across all HR decisions

• Build strong relationships with employees at every level of the organization

Recruitment and Workforce Support

• Lead full-cycle recruitment for site-based positions

• Interview candidates and make hiring recommendations

• Prepare and present employment offers

• Coordinate onboarding and new-employee orientation

• Work with external recruitment partners and advertising platforms when required

• Support managers in making effective and consistent hiring decisions

• Strengthen recruitment processes to improve quality, efficiency and candidate experience

HR Team Management

• Manage, coach and develop HR Generalists and HR Administrators

• Establish departmental goals, priorities and performance expectations

• Provide ongoing mentoring and professional-development support

• Ensure the HR team delivers responsive and consistent service

• Promote accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement

Compliance, Policy and Employee Programs

• Administer HR policies, procedures and employee programs

• Support the development and maintenance of the employee handbook

• Ensure compliance with applicable federal and state employment regulations

• Prepare responses for unemployment claims, hearings and other employment-related matters

• Partner with internal legal counsel on sensitive or business-critical cases

• Conduct HR audits involving attendance, records, workplace practices and computer usage

• Maintain accurate, confidential and compliant HR documentation

• Deliver HR information and updates during employee and leadership meetings

Training and Continuous Improvement

• Coordinate and monitor employee and management training

• Support training covering interviewing, workplace conduct, harassment prevention and company policies

• Conduct regular facility tours to maintain a visible HR presence

• Identify opportunities to improve HR systems, processes and service delivery

• Collaborate with cross-functional leaders to implement operational improvements

• Use HR data and reporting to identify trends, risks and workforce priorities

What You’ll Bring

Essential Requirements

• At least six years of progressive Human Resources experience

• Strong, hands-on experience in both employee relations and recruitment

• Demonstrated experience leading and managing employees

• Experience coaching and mentoring professionals at different organizational levels

• Working knowledge of federal and state employment laws

• Experience handling investigations, performance concerns and disciplinary actions

• Strong policy-development and HR compliance experience

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel and spreadsheet-based reporting

• Excellent written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills

• Strong organization, prioritization and multitasking capabilities

• Ability to exercise discretion and independent judgment when handling sensitive matters

• Proven problem-solving, negotiation and conflict-resolution skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration or a related discipline

• Equivalent education and substantial progressive HR experience may also be considered

• Previous HR leadership experience within manufacturing, electronics, industrial operations or another complex site-based environment

• Experience managing HR Generalists, Coordinators or Administrators

• Experience working with unemployment claims, legal hearings or internal employment counsel

• Familiarity with continuous-improvement tools and methodologies

• Experience supporting multicultural or geographically dispersed teams

• Working knowledge of WebEx or comparable virtual-meeting platforms

The Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be a visible, approachable and action-oriented HR leader who is equally comfortable advising senior management and supporting employees on the manufacturing floor.

You should be able to balance empathy with sound judgment, protect confidentiality and make fair, defensible decisions. You will also need the confidence to challenge appropriately, influence cross-functional leaders and take ownership of difficult employee-relations matters.

This position is particularly well suited to someone who combines strong operational HR knowledge with a genuine passion for developing people, improving processes and building a positive workplace culture.

Compensation and Benefits

The anticipated base salary for this position is $90,000–$110,000 per year.

Individual compensation will be determined by several factors, including relevant skills, qualifications, certifications, experience, training, internal compensation data and wider business requirements.

The comprehensive rewards package includes:

• Performance-based bonus plan

• Medical, dental and vision insurance

• 401(k) retirement plan

• Paid time off

• Applicable state and local employee-leave benefits

• Career-development opportunities

• A collaborative and inclusive working environment

Benefits eligibility is based on scheduled working hours and applicable plan requirements.

Export-Control Notice

This position may involve access to information or technology controlled under applicable United States export-control laws.

Employment may therefore be contingent upon verification that the successful applicant qualifies as a “U.S. Person” under applicable regulations or upon the organization obtaining any necessary export authorization. Individual circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you are an experienced HR leader with strong employee-relations, recruitment, compliance and people-management expertise, this is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of a critical site-level HR function and make a meaningful impact across the organization.
