• Coordinating end‑to‑end recruitment for c.20 manufacturing roles, working with agencies and using SuccessFactors.
• Supporting the HR workstream for the site launch, ensuring compliance, readiness, and smooth operational execution.
• Managing onboarding activity, including BPSS clearances.

• Providing regular updates, reporting, and metrics to key stakeholders.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong operational HR experience within manufacturing or similar environments.
• Confidence managing recruitment processes and high‑volume hiring.
• Excellent organisational and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience using SuccessFactors (ideally recruitment module).
• Ability to multitask, prioritise, and deliver at pace.
