HR Business Partner

At Comex 2000, we're the team behind the UK's telecoms networks, delivering critical infrastructure projects across fibre, network build and maintenance.

Due to significant contract growth, we're looking for a hands-on HR Business Partner to support a newly expanded workforce across a larger geographical region.

We're looking for someone who is comfortable rolling their sleeves up, spending time in the operation, building relationships with frontline managers and helping to establish strong people foundations in a fast-paced telecoms environment.

You'll partner closely with Heads of Delivery and Operations Directors
, supporting a business going through significant change, growth and transformation. The environment is commercially demanding, with a strong focus on productivity, labour costs, operational performance, profitability and customer delivery.

Initially, success in this role will be about getting the basics right, building credibility with leaders, improving people processes, managing complex employee relations issues and supporting managers to lead their teams effectively.
