Job description

At SYOS Aerospace, we’re not just building another aerospace company. We’re building autonomous technology across air, land and sea - and scaling fast. Our UK team is growing, our engineering programmes are expanding, and we’re building the people, culture and processes to support that growth. That’s where you come in.

About The Role

We’re looking for an HR Coordinator who wants more than administration. You’ll play a key role in helping build the employee experience at SYOS, from attracting great people and coordinating recruitment, through to onboarding, employee support, compliance and offboarding. You’ll work closely with our People & Culture Manager, hiring managers, employees and leadership, giving you genuine exposure to a fast moving engineering and technology business that’s scaling. No two days will be the same. One day you could be coordinating interviews and security checks; the next, supporting onboarding, improving an HR process or helping a manager navigate an employee matter.

If you’re organised, people focused and enjoy making things happen, this is an opportunity to have real impact.

Hours: Part-time or full-time considered, from 30 to 37.5 hours per week

Location: Fareham, UK, note this is an on-site role

What You’ll Do

• Coordinate recruitment, interviews, offers and pre-employment screening.
• Support BPSS, SC and other security vetting processes where required.
• Deliver smooth, engaging onboarding and induction experiences.
• Maintain accurate employee records and HR systems.
• Support contracts, probation, payroll changes, leave and employee lifecycle activity.
• Provide responsive HR support to employees and managers.
• Prepare HR documentation, reports and people data.
• Help ensure compliance with UK employment legislation, GDPR and defense-sector requirements.
• Identify opportunities to improve HR processes and make the employee experience better.
• Support the People & Culture team as SYOS continues to scale and open new sites.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone who is organised, switched on and genuinely enjoys working with people.

You’ll Ideally Have

• Experience in HR administration, coordination or a similar people focused recruitment role.
• Strong attention to detail and excellent organisation.
• Confidence handling confidential and sensitive information.
• Great communication and stakeholder skills.
• The ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• A proactive mindset - you see what needs doing and get it done.
• A genuine interest in building great employee experiences.
• Employment hero experience favourable

Experience in defence, aerospace, engineering, manufacturing or a regulated environment is a bonus, but not essential.

Why SYOS?

This isn’t a traditional corporate HR environment. You’ll be joining a fast growing engineering and technology business where things move quickly, priorities evolve and your contribution is visible.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across the employee lifecycle, influence how we do things and help build the HR foundations that support our next stage of growth.

If you want to be close to the action, work with great people and help build something from the ground up, we want to hear from you.

The SYOS Mindset

Curious people. Big ideas. A team that gets things done.

We collaborate, move quickly, challenge ideas and take ownership.

Come build with us. Grow with us.
