• 2–4 years of experience as an HR Generalist, ideally in a manufacturing environment
• Strong background in recruiting, employee relations, and HR compliance
• Experience using Dayforce or a similar HRIS system
• Working knowledge of employment laws and HR best practices
• Clear, confident communicator with a high level of integrity and discretion
