Position OverviewWe are seeking a hands-on Sr. HR Business Partner to support multiple manufacturing sites in the Madison area. This onsite role will split time between two east-side locations (approximately 20 minutes apart) and may require infrequent travel to a Milwaukee site.

Key Responsibilities- Partner with plant leadership to align HR initiatives with business objectives
- Oversee payroll processing in partnership with site managers
- Support employee relations matters, including ADA-related issues (advisor support available)
- Coordinate interviews and assist with recruitment efforts (not a pure Talent Acquisition role)
- Support transition activities related to plant closure, including potential involvement in onsite hiring events
- Implement performance management processes and employee development initiatives
- Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws
- Manage onboarding, employee documentation, and benefits administration
- Track and analyze monthly people metrics to identify gaps and improvement opportunities
- Support union-related matters where applicable
- 3–5+ years of HR experience in a manufacturing environment
- Hands-on, practical HR experience (not strictly strategic)
- Strong employee relations background
- Experience working with an HRIS system
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (sorting and filtering required; Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPs preferred)
- Strong knowledge of employment law and HR compliance
- Ability to maintain confidentiality and exercise sound judgment
- Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources or related field (or equivalent experience)
