• Support onboarding, offboarding, employee records, HRIS administration, benefits questions, performance reviews, development, engagement, and training initiatives.
• Monitor recruiting and workforce metrics and identify opportunities to improve HR processes and systems.
• Support compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws, audits, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.
• Contribute to employee engagement activities and other site‑based HR needs.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field required.

• Strong communication, organization, judgment, discretion, and ability to build credibility with leaders and employees.
• Experience in manufacturing, industrial, supply chain, field service, retail/corporate, or another mixed‑workforce environment preferred.
• SHRM‑CP, SHRM‑SCP, PHR, or SPHR strongly preferred, or willingness to obtain certification within 12–18 months.
