Assistant Human Resources Manager

Report To: Human Resources Manager

People First. Safety is the Foundation.

At Motus, people are at the center of everything we do.

We are looking for a Human Resources Assistant Manager who believes great HR happens where the work happens—on the floor, alongside our employees and leaders, building relationships, solving problems, and creating an environment where people can do their best work.

This is an opportunity to make a visible impact within a fast-paced automotive manufacturing environment in Holland, Michigan, supporting a diverse workforce and partnering closely with leaders across the organization.

The ideal candidate is more than an HR administrator. You are a trusted advisor, problem solver, coach, and connector who can move comfortably between the production floor, leadership team, and corporate HR organization. You bring the ability to communicate with employees in both English and Spanish
, understand the realities of an industrial workforce, and turn HR strategy into action.

• Your presence will be felt throughout the operation. You'll build relationships across shifts and serve as an approachable resource for employees and leaders on performance, attendance, conflict resolution, employee relations, and everyday HR needs.
• You'll bring an open-door mindset and the confidence to listen, ask questions, investigate concerns, and help leaders navigate difficult situations fairly and consistently.
• As a bilingual HR leader, you'll help ensure Spanish-speaking employees have an equal opportunity to understand expectations, access resources, raise concerns, and feel connected to the organization.

Engagement isn't just an event or an initiative; it's about how people experience the workplace every day.

• You'll help develop programs that strengthen engagement, recognition, retention, and connection across the workforce. You'll have an opportunity to celebrate employee milestones, recognize contributions, support cultural integration, and help create an environment where employees feel seen, valued, and respected.

• You'll partner with hiring leaders to understand workforce needs and support effective recruiting strategies for production, technical, and leadership positions.
• You'll help coordinate the hiring process, including developing job descriptions, coordinating interviews, facilitating pre-employment activities, and supporting a positive candidate experience.
• You'll also facilitate bilingual onboarding and orientation
  , helping new employees understand our expectations, culture, safety standards, and what it means to be part of the Motus team from day one.

• Manufacturing expertise is built over time, and our most experienced employees carry valuable knowledge that cannot always be found in a manual.
• You'll partner with leaders to identify training needs and help develop programs that strengthen technical skills, safety, compliance, leadership, and career development.
• You'll also have an opportunity to help create mentoring and cross-training programs that transfer decades of specialized headliner manufacturing knowledge to the next generation of employees.
• This is more than training. It's about protecting the knowledge that makes our operation successful while creating opportunities for people to grow.

• You'll serve as a resource for employees throughout their employment experience, helping them understand benefits, enrollment, changes, and other HR programs in the language they are most comfortable using.
• You'll partner with the corporate HR team to ensure local practices align with company programs and expectations.

Behind great HR is great execution.

• You'll maintain accurate employee and training records, support HRIS and timekeeping processes, assist with payroll administration, and ensure sensitive employee information is handled with discretion.
• You'll also support the implementation of HR policies and practices while maintaining compliance with applicable federal and Michigan employment laws, including FMLA, ADA, FLSA, and EEOC requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field
• 3+ years of progressive HR experience, preferably in an industrial or manufacturing environment
