Position Summary

The Senior Human Resources Generalist serves as the primary day-to-day HR resource for our Oshkosh facility and works closely with employees, supervisors, and leaders to provide practical, consistent, and employee-focused HR support.

This role is ideal for an experienced HR professional who is approachable, positive, confident, and solutions-oriented. The Senior HR Generalist will independently manage routine employee relations matters, coach leaders through workplace concerns, support recruiting and onboarding, administer HR programs and policies, and help ensure consistent application of company practices.

The successful candidate will be comfortable making recommendations and bringing forward solutions—not simply identifying problems—while recognizing when a matter should be escalated to HR leadership. This position works closely with the VP of Human Resources and other members of the HR team and will have ongoing support when navigating complex or higher-risk situations.

• Support employee retention efforts, new-hire follow-up, and identification of workplace trends affecting turnover or engagement.
• Assist employees and leaders with leave-of-absence processes, including FMLA and other company leave programs, in coordination with HR leadership and benefit administrators.

• Monitor employee relations, attendance, turnover, recruiting, and other workforce trends and proactively identify areas requiring attention.
