Do people come to you because you “just get it”? Are you a natural problem solver? Are you the kind of person who can bring the best out of people, and has the moral courage to tell someone they’re sucking the life out of others? Are you someone who shows up, lives to support others, and thrives in a fast-moving environment?

At the Cherubini Group of Companies, we’re looking for a Senior People & Culture Lead who’s driven by empathy, who moves with purpose, and builds trust through consistency, clarity, and care.

This is more than an HR job. It’s about people. It’s about culture. It’s about making work better.

Who You Are

• You build strong connections — people feel seen, heard, and valued around you.
• You inspire and uplift others as a coach, mentor, and trusted advisor.
• You thrive under pressure, staying calm, focused, and solution oriented.
• You leave your ego (and your baggage) at the door, and you show up for others.

Key Responsibilities

As a key member of our People & Culture team, you’ll be at the heart of what makes our company thrive – our people. You’ll lead with compassion and clarity, supporting individuals and teams through growth, change, and challenge. You’ll be trusted to :

• Build strong relationships with employees, leaders, and stakeholders across all companies within the Group
• Serve as a go-to resource for employee relations, performance coaching, and engagement
• Mentor team members and model a people-first approach to HR
• Drive recruitment and onboarding processes that are as human as they are efficient
• Lead the planning and delivery of employee engagement initiatives, events, and internal communications
• Help manage immigration initiatives, audits, and compliance (NSNP, LMIA, AIP)
• Provide people insights through reporting, KPIs, and benchmarking
• Contribute to policy development and ensure legislative compliance across jurisdictions
• Keep things organized, moving forward, and above all, connected

What Makes Us Different

At Cherubini, we don’t just build structures – we build culture. We foster an environment where people matter, communication is open, and relationships are everything. When you join our People & Culture team, you’ll :

• Be part of a collaborative, inclusive culture that values people, relationships, and respect
• Take ownership of your work while being supported by a strong team
• Grow professionally and contribute to company-wide change
• Work in an environment where your work truly matters

Skills and Experience

• 5+ years of HR experience (construction or trades experience is a plus)
• Experience in leadership or mentorship roles
• Knowledge of employment legislation, immigration programs, and HR best practices
• Strength in Microsoft Office, communication tools, and project tracking
• Deep alignment with our values : trust, teamwork, and accountability

If you’re the kind of HR leader who believes in people and can bring structure to complexity without losing the human touch, we want to meet you.
