People & Culture Advisor

Position: People & Culture Advisor
Some careers are built role by role.
Others are shaped by the organisations you choose to be part of.
Hidden in the heart of Sheffield sits one of the UK's most respected engineering institutions - a place where heritage, innovation and national impact intersect. For generations, this organisation has helped shape not just steel, but the future of British engineering itself. Today, it stands at the centre of long-term investment, modernisation and purpose-driven work that genuinely matters.
And now, there's an opportunity to be part of that story.
I'm exclusively managing a People & Culture Advisor position within this iconic Sheffield-based engineering environment - a 12-month fixed-term role created through internal progression and secondment, offering exposure to a mature, values-led People function at a pivotal time in its journey.
This is a role for an HR professional who enjoys being close to the business - someone who thrives on trusted relationships, meaningful employee engagement, and making people processes work in practice, not just on paper. You'll be the first point of contact for managers, supporting ER matters, advising on the employee lifecycle, shaping culture, and helping leaders bring out the best in their teams.
Why does this role stand out?
Because few organisations can offer:

A legacy stretching back centuries, paired with billions in future investment
A working environment where quality, safety, respect and innovation aren't slogans - they're lived daily
A People & Culture team that truly influences how the organisation evolves
And the flexibility to design your working day around life, not the other way around
You'll work 37.5 hours per week, with flexible start and finish times that allow you to balance professional impact with personal commitments - a rare combination in a large-scale operational environment.
This opportunity would suit someone who:

Holds CIPD Level 3 (minimum), with Level 5 highly desirable
Has solid experience across HR operations and employee relations
Is confident managing ER cases, supporting managers, and using HR systems effectively
Values integrity, collaboration, and creating positive employee experiences

Adding an organisation of this calibre to your CV isn't just another step - it's a statement. It signals credibility, resilience, and the ability to operate within a complex, high-profile environment where people truly are at the heart of success.
