About the Job:

Lakeside HR Group has been engaged by our client to recruit an HR Manager to join their team. Our client is a well-established mechanical services organization supporting commercial and industrial facilities across the Twin Cities and beyond. They operate in a fast-paced, operational environment and are known for combining the stability of a larger organization with the feel of a hands-on, local team.

This is a highly visible, hands-on HR leadership role for someone who enjoys owning the day-to-day HR function while serving as a trusted advisor to both leadership and employees. The HR Manager will balance execution with thoughtful problem-solving, operating independently while driving progress, consistency, and trust across the organization.

Success in this role requires strong presence, sound judgment, and the ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic, operational setting.

Employee Experience

• Serve as a trusted point of contact for employees, responding to questions and concerns with clarity, consistency, and timeliness
• Navigate employee relations matters with discretion, confidence, and sound judgment
• Advocate for employees while balancing business needs and operational realities
• Clearly communicate decisions and explain the “why” to build trust and understanding

HR Operations & Day-to-Day Management

• Own core HR processes end-to-end, including onboarding, offboarding, and employee lifecycle changes
• Ensure HR policies, practices, and documentation are compliant, consistent, and practical
• Partner closely with payroll, benefits, and accounting to ensure accurate execution and reporting

Program & Process Improvement

• Build, improve, and standardize HR programs such as performance management, training, learning, and leadership development
• Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for continuous improvement
• Optimize HRIS (Paylocity) and related systems to better support the business

Leadership Support & Coaching

• Partner with managers as a coach and thought partner on performance, conduct, and people decisions
• Guide leaders through difficult conversations, documentation, and decision-making
• Serve as a steady, solutions-oriented HR presence for the organization

Hiring & Growth Support

• Support hiring efforts from intake through onboarding
• Ensure a consistent, professional, and human candidate experience
• Help leaders focus on long-term fit and success, not just filling open roles

Reporting & Insights

• Provide meaningful HR reporting and insights to leadership
• Use data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities
• Apply internal and external benchmarks to inform decisions

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, ideally as a Senior HR Generalist or HR Manager
• Experience supporting both hourly and salaried employees in an operational or skilled-trades union environment strongly preferred
• Broad HR generalist background with comfort operating across all functional areas
• Strong judgment, communication skills, and ability to handle sensitive situations with professionalism
• Ability to work onsite in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
• Must be able to successfully pass a criminal history background check
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage
• Employer-matched 401(k)
• Ongoing training, development, and safety programs
• Opportunity to build a long-term career in a stable, growing organization
